Markus Sesko's E-Book Sale Is Now On Save 50%

[b.hennick]

Easter eBook Super Sale III by Markus Sesko

 

I just started, like last year and the year before, an Easter eBook Super Sale where ALL of my eBooks are reduced by 50%! This offer will be valid for until the day after Easter Monday (4/18) so you have enough time to decide what you want. So fill up all your tablets (or PC´s) with all the important Nihonto and Tosogu reference material you need four your studies!

Once again, it goes directly via me (i.e. I'm not going to manually change all the prices on Lulu.com and then change them back when the sale is over). I provide a list of all my eBooks below, showing the regular and the reduced prices. I also linked them so that you can check what the description says but again, DO NOT buy over there at Lulu.com this time. Get in touch with me via "markus.sesko@gmail.com" and pay me directly, either by PayPal using the very same email address or by credit card, using the donate button at the very bottom of this page and I'm going to send you over the eBook. And anyway, if you gave a question, just drop me a mail.

So grab this chance to fill up your laptops/tablets/phones with all references you need.

Thank you for your attention!

I highly recommended this source of translated work and compilations supplemented with great research.

[Brian]

Buy the books people!!!
Buy them!!
Best money you can spend. And if you don't have at least a few of these already, you don't collect Nihonto. Am I being blunt enough?

[Curran]

Nihonto library on a laptop or tablet.--

 

The age of lugging around 50 year old tomes is past.

[Jussi Ekholm]

These also work very well on phones. I got bunch of these on my phone and I use them a lot while on the move.

 

I have to recommend especially this book. You will be getting amazing koshirae reference for a tiny investment.

 

Koshirae Taikan ..... $59.90 - $30

[Vermithrax16]

If one wanted to get 3 kinds of reference, which would the forum suggest for:

1. Geberal reference

2. Kanbun era swords and smiths

3. Smith family lines

[Brian]

Encyclopedia of Japanese Swords

Shinto Meikan

Swordsmiths of Japan

Last one is a must have for everyone. Hawley's..but improved.

[Vermithrax16]

Thank you Brian. 

[SwordGuyJoe]

I also have the shinshinto meikan and that's a good one too!

[Jean]

I have all of them but 3..,,

[Vermithrax16]

Can't wait to get them!

[Vermithrax16]

Sale or no sale, the ebooks I bought have already been wildly useful.

 

I ask the board, from this list what are the best titles for a newbie. I bought the 3 recommended above already. Most interested in mei signatures and more smith lines.

[Katsujinken]

For smith lines and lineages this is indispensable: http://www.lulu.com/shop/markus-sesko/e-genealogies-and-schools-of-Japanese-swordsmiths/ebook/product-21954699.html
