A decent reference work?


Recommended Posts

I agree, IMHO it's the best English language source available on

Showa era swords. John Slough lived only a few miles from me

and several of my swords are in the book (which of course makes

it good :-) Seriously, it is well worth having and originally (when in

print) sold for I think about $100. A while back I recall someone doing

an authorized hardback reprint which was even higher I think.

There is an index of Slough's book setup to ToShow in zip format

on my website at:

Don't know if you can make heads or tales out of it without

having ToShow. ToShow is still available for FREE from Peter McCullum

at his website:

Just for everybody's information, the Ebay sellers wrote me to say that they were the producer and distributor of the hardcover book and can furnish as many copies as anybody wants or needs. They said that with the retail purchase of the first book they can offer additional copies for $95 each and make sure that one of them is signed by the author.

 

You can conact them via the email contact the seller link on the Ebay link.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best,

Bobby
