Spartancrest Posted April 21 Author Report Posted April 21 Popped another one out, just sent to the printers. - A bit bigger book of some 390 pages, single side view images with limited information. It will take some time to be released after I get to proof check the print quality. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/tsuba-in-the-national-museum-of-norway-spartancrest/1147268270?ean=9798349985782 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-national-museum-in-warsaw-tsuba-collection-spartancrest/1147268269 https://www.thriftbooks.com/browse/?b.search=tsuba#b.s=mostPopular-desc&b.p=1&b.pp=50&b.oos&b.tile Cheaper than Amazon! 3 5 Quote
Spartancrest Posted May 2 Author Report Posted May 2 Just did an English translation of FRANÇOIS PONCETTON's book "LES GARDES DE SABRE JAPONAISES." Published in Paris by Albert Morance, 1924. With a few more modern images and a lot more descriptions and provenance. Around a hundred pages - images alongside the descriptions unlike the original book that had a series of plates at the back of the book. You can find the original French PDF here - https://www.tobunken.go.jp/archives/PDF/library-books/9000AB4950.pdf It is a very large 178 MB. 4 6 Quote

Spartancrest Posted May 13 Author Report Posted May 13 Listed the Poncetton book in two formats - Soft and Hardcover, I am yet to find the ISBN codes but the title will show up in a search in a few days. 106 pages. Please be aware the books are sold through the distributors at a much inflated price and ebay is not the cheapest by any means! PM if you want a cheaper option. 3 Quote
