Cool! If it's good, I'll get it. Well, to be honest, if it is mediocre, I'll still get it.

Ideally I would get the book, so I could read through the restructured chapters at my own pace, and follow along with the chapter discussions and supplementary material online as I go. Originally Posted by DdlR

My paperback copy has finally arrived!!!
I see the dedication is:
There's an additional aknowledgement to Ellis Amdur too.Michael "Tinker" Pearce, Angus Trim, and Guy Windsor -- They put swords in our hands and taught us how to use them.
I'm really looking forward to this. I just need to finish the novel I'm reading already.

So I am only like 1/4 of the way through the book, but I wanted to share for those who are thinking about purchasing/borrowing it:
It's pretty damn good. You can definitely tell that it's not a Neal Stephenson book entirely (e.g. he had other writers in on it), but its a fun read, well-paced so far, and is a cool mix of history, secret society type stuff, and marital arts fight scenes. I can't speak to the accuracy, but the fight scenes are well-written and fun.
