Not wishing to Spam the forum (the only one I'm on) or upset anyone.

An open question: Does anyone actually stick to one old master or type i.e German, Italian ect?

Some of the stuff I've seen posted around the internet seems very elitest and uptight and then a gaggle of fanboys chirping along ...

Any good? Looks interesting and was thinking of buying. Sometimes it's nice to just read a real book without electronics.

I take these to be what some refer to as the zwer. Been practicing on the pell admittedly with a feather sword but experiencing some problems.
