These are invaluable resources and being ebooks means the reader can use the very practical search feature. It was primarily access to these reference volumes that I was able to purchase my last sword. Books like the eSwordsmiths volume should be on every nihonto collectors computer. Thanks for making this generous offer available again.

Every single book Markus has is invaluable and a sound investment, I really recommend picking up a few bargains here. Do NOT miss this.

For gendaitō 現代刀 collectors, I recommend the following two books for the reference library.  They are definitely worth having.

 

Sesko, Markus. Encyclopedia of Japanese Swords. Lulu Enterprises, Inc., 2014. 552 pages.  This is a dictionary explaining all the Japanese sword terms.

 

Sesko, Markus. Swordsmiths of Japan. Lulu, Inc., 2015. 1450 pages.  A listing of over 20,000 Japanese swordsmiths.

 

And finally, might as well download the free compendium from Sesko as well.
