    The Hardbck & paperback are two different books
  

*by W***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2016*

If you're buying the paperback version of this book, your getting a book called 'The Martial Arts: Origins, philosophy, practice.'. It's a pretty good general overview of different martial arts, presented in the form of a glossary, or even a dictionary, with definitions and explanations given (as anything from a few sentences to a couple of paragraphs) for a range of terms and expressions from the Martial Arts world. Far from definitive, but that's fine; it doesn't claim to be. Just a nice book to dip into. I saw it at a friend's house and thought 'I must keep an eye out for a copy'.But I like my books hardback.So having found the book on Amazon, I saw there was also a hardback available in the 'other editions'. I clicked it, bought it, waited.When it came, what I got was a different beast altogether. The hardback is an illusrated guide to a few of the Arts. Still by Peter Lewis, but iIt's like a badly dated (think 80's) kid's annual about Kung Fu (the worst bit; the photos are of a long haired shirtless guy; looks like he's out of a hair-metal,  video of the time, and a girl in a leotard & both of them in MC Hammer pants) Karate, Ninjitsu, TKD, and one or two others.While the information is all good, the  models well posed, it just looks kind of awful, really. A bit embarrassing; I'm hiding it.It's the hardback I got so it's the hardback I'm reviewing. Two stars instead of one, because although I hate it, all that's wrong really is that it's soooooo dated.
