Dan Meyer liked Nate Katz's review of To the Hilt: A Sword Swallower's History of Sword Swallowing: "Loved this book! Amazing images throughout, and incredible stories of performers who swallowed swords for a living -- why they did it, their experiences throughout, and so much more. An incredible book about incredible people."
