Aleguir Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Hello everybody, I have a small question concerning the new book of Clive Sinclaire, Samurai Swords - A Collector's Guide, I'm the only one to have many mistakes inside ? I mean no mistakes done by Clive Sinclaire but from the publisher. There is really a lot of mistakes on Japanese terms and even on a page a wrong legend for a picture (if I remember well a naginata's picture indicated as a tachi). I have the impression that Tuttle didn't verify very well before printing the book and I find that quite frustrating and don't do honor to the quality of the work of mister Sinclaire ... Does someone have the same thing ? Or a totally different feeling ? Thank you very much Have a nice day Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 Hi, & welcome to the forum. Please sign all of your posts with at least a first name, per Brian's rules. I wasn't aware that Clive had published a new book, but I'm interested in getting a copy. He's a long-time NMB member. Quote
Jean Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 Don’t bother Alex for your new posts, I did it for you, it will appear automatically . This book is IMHO not a new one, perhaps a reprint. Quote
Aleguir Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Posted March 3, 2018 Hello thank you very much Jean ! Yes Ken, if I well remember it has been published in september 2017. I hope that Tuttle will publish it again with less mistakes. Jean I'm not sure that is a reprint, Quote

Aleguir Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Posted March 3, 2018 Yep it's him. It was not published in september but in october. Quote
Jean Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 Alex, Check the Comments, it is a reprint edition, otherwise I am sure there would have been a recent topic on the Board got it a few years ago. Edit to add: https://www.amazon.com/Samurai-Swords-Clive-Sinclaire/dp/0785825630/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254665411&sr=8-1 Quote
Aleguir Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Posted March 3, 2018 Ohhh okay sorry I didn't know it was the original edition ! So what really interesting me is to know (to come back to the original purpose ) if there are the same mistakes inside, particulary on the Japanese words Quote
Jean Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 Probably if it is just a reprint. Imust have it somewhere, I’ll have to check. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 That book? I've had my copy for years. Quote
Aleguir Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks Jean it would be great ! Quote
