WW2 Japanese sword

That’s one of the three books. 
 

The links provided above by eternal newbie have all the books. There’s three links there for three books

When I have contacted Markus in the past he was always prompt in his response. However, I never contacted him during the holidays, so please be patient if it takes a bit.

Is this the correct book it’s 59.00

 

As others have said - that's the first book in a series of 3, covering smiths with name starting AKI-KUNI.

 

At the very least, the smith you're looking for (YOSHISHIGE) is likely to be in the third volume, covering smiths with names starting SATO-ZEN:

Or buy the eBook, which combines all 3 books into one PDF at a lower price overall:

Steve, this resource is only worth getting if you actually intend to use it.

 

To be blunt, your forum history shows a consistent pattern of ignoring recommended materials and coming back to have the same information spelled out for you.
 

At this point, it comes across less like you’re here to learn and more like you’re here to avoid learning, by outsourcing the effort to others. If that doesn’t change, there’s no reason to believe these books will be any different from the resources you’ve already ignored.

I genuinely hope that pattern changes, but only you know your true motivations.

I don’t need a lesson in learning I have spent money on books and am looking to purchase these now

This is why I don’t like your opinions

Yes I have put up alot of swords on the forum more than I should 

However I could have bought bad swords so I’m thankful for that 

You can send me your opinion’s through my messages I don’t need your comments for the  forum to read !

You don’t know a person until  you walk in their shoes I know mean to sound blunt

Steve,
These encyclopedias are literally a list of names, with some brief description of the smith and when he worked. No pics, no description of swords. Just a dictionary of all the smiths and who they were.
useful, but not if you are only ever going to look up 5 or 6 smiths.

I agree I sent Markus a message Hoping he will respond 

 

 

Thanks Brian
