Yes! Buy books! First sword and first sword book were bought in 1976. Every year I buy more books. In 2023 I bought 5 or 6. I look forward to buying more in 2024. -

Thank you Bob for providing this wonderful thread. I look forward to seeing your new acquisitions. This thread needs to be pinned as it is a wonderful resource.

I really enjoyed the Florida Token Kai group. I was a member for years even though I live in Canada. They ran a great sword show in Tampa in February. I enjoyed their publications too. The last time that I saw Troy he was in a wheelchair and attending the show. I miss that group and their show too.
