mecox Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 The original 1993 book (new, unused, softcover, 29 x 20.5 cm, 268 pages). Although dated, it is a comprehensive compilation of pre-modern Mino swordsmiths and history with 100+ pages of figures and oshigata, providing a useful English reference and introduction. Supplement is upgraded and a new print, 50 pages, with 30 pages of oshigata plus sword school trees. It has Japanese for swordsmiths names plus 3 pages of kanji commonly used. Set of two books is AUD 50. Standard airmail Australia to USA is AUD 42 (books weigh 0.90 kg = 2.2 lb). 4 1 Quote

Kotetsu1959 Posted July 3 Report Posted July 3 Malcolm, I would like to purchase this work of yours, and will need to pay you to ship it to me in the U.S. Will you please private message me payment details so that I can get you paid? I look forward to learning more about Mino swords with your help! 1 Quote
Alex A Posted Friday at 07:25 AM Report Posted Friday at 07:25 AM I bought this book not so long ago from Malcolm, he is great to deal with. Been after it for a long time and had never been able to get it, so get it whilst you can. Lots of info, actually found out more about about a Mino tanto i own, which was good. A signed copy too, so will thank Brian for that idea. 2 1 Quote
