Can anyone recommend any good books which specifically focus on Muso Shinden Iaido. I have recently started studying Iai and I am interested in reading up on the history as well as using the book as study aid.

Any help would be appreciated

Not a lot in English, but if you go to http://koryu.com/guide/musoshinden.html you will find a lot of info. My favorite is the movie link.

One word of caution -- there are a lot of variations of the waza. For example, the timing and posture of certain waza demonstrated in the movies are different from the way I was taught.

FYI there are a few English books on Eishin Ryu variants.

Good luck
