Helly overyone,

 

I just want to revive this thread (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14361)

by a new one (@mods: I hope this is ok) and inform you that the two volumes on Koto-kantei

and Shinto-shinshinto-kantei are out now.

 

Also eBooks of both volumes are available.

 

I almost kept the announced price but the project turned out to have more pages than thought

(484 + 440 pages for the German and 464 + 416 pages for the English volumes) so the final price

is 75,93 Euro. Thank you for your understanding. :thanks:

 

All versions, i.e. the English, German and eBook versions can be found here:

Please be careful to get the right language and thank you for your interest :bowdown:

Markus -- I took advantage of the discount on the E-book on 'Koshirae' and I must say I am totally impressed with your work. I read over it today and will spend quite a bit of time to get down over two hundred pages of information! LOL

 

Thank you so much for your effort.

Thanks for the heads up Pete. Since the 26DEC code now seems to be 40% (increases daily over the Festive Season?) I couldn't resist that e-book at just over 10 bucks. For that price, I expect most of you guys to go grab one! The printed version is also 40% off..as are all the other books.

Edit to add: Wow. Just finished the donwload. That is a serious book! Lots of info I haven't seen anywhere else, including many pages on Heian and earlier mounts. Well done..I may just have to order the printed one too.

That's what I assumed...

40% for the cheapest book in the basket.

But never the less I ordered the Kantei set. :)

Thank you Markus to provide also German volumes.

I thank you all for your interest in my publications.

 

:bowdown:

 

Sorry for those who missed some deals at Lulu but unfortunately they

didn´t tell me what was coming up and so when I saw the 30 % off,

I thought I just had to post that.

My copies arrived today.

Congratulations Markus on yet another exceptional piece of work.

These two volume represent an invaluable reference for any one intersted in studying good swords (whether you do kantei or not)

They are an easy to use reference and well worth the price (even for those of us who were too impatient and ordered before the discount deals :( )

Thanks again for your efforts they are much appreciated

Best Regards

Paul

I ordered three pairs of these kantei books (all in English) and received them today. Five books were in English and one (Shin-Shinto) in German... well, I can read German language text, so no big deal. The English language copies go to other Finnish nihonto collectors. But Lulu.com does seem to ship books in more or less random language...

I am sorry for your trouble with Lulu. I too got a Shinto volume in English I did not order. :bang:

 

@Veli: I have an idea. Maybe we can change our wrong volumes because I am just at

sending it back to Lulu. Please tell me if this sounds anything good and I offer to

refund you the shipping fee.

 

@Gilles: Did you contact Lulu?

Markus, that is an excellent idea. Never mind the postage cost within Europe. Let's exchange address info, either by PM or you can mail me at nihontofinland( )gmail.com.

Dear Markus,

 

Yes, I did contact Lulu. They told me that the mistake was their own and they are sending me a copy of the Koto book in English. Let us wait and see. :doubt:

 

Thank you Markus for your concern.

 

Regards, :thanks:

Markus thank you for advising us about the 25% off sale . I ordered the English versions and got 25% off both books which bought the price down below $150 . The postage was really low and the books arrived within a week . Everyone should have these two books in their library
