Walking sticks come in all shapes and sizes, for ladies or gentlemen - but beneath the simple exterior of many a stick hides its other use, for defence in the form of a Swordstick with flick knife, or more sociably for a little "tipple" while out on a walk and many more uses as you will find out in the book. Over 280 walking sticks have been illustrated in this book - along with details of the types of wood used and other essential information.
