jeeplover Posted August 6, 2010 Report Posted August 6, 2010 ok on the advice of several members i have bought sloughs book. what other books should i buy ? any help is greatly appreciated as always. Quote
bluboxer Posted August 6, 2010 Report Posted August 6, 2010 Good day Keith, since you have Slough's book I assume your interest is WWII and/or military swords.I found the book "Swords of Imperial Japan 1868-1945" by Dawson very informative with lots of photographs. The Connoisseur's book of Japanese swords was one of the first books I purchased. It depends on what information you are seeking and where your interests lie.Good luck. Quote
jeeplover Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 dawsons book looks good. what about greggor and fullers book? is it lots of diffrent info or are they the same info? or is it a good ideal to get both? Quote
bluboxer Posted August 10, 2010 Report Posted August 10, 2010 I have not seen Fuller's so I can't say.What I did not like about Dawson's was the lack of blade photos.There were a couple of swords that had fantastic blades in military mounts but no photos of the blades left me wanting.Other than that it seemed very complete and comprehensive.
