This is a must have!

According to Markus' site here: http://markussesko.com/2015/11/12/dti-ebook-super-sale/ and in the DTI thread, there is currently a 50% off eBook sale on his books.

This is a steal folks! These books are one of the must have resources. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/nihontobooks

http://www.lulu.com/shop/markus-sesko/e-encyclopedia-of-Japanese-swords/ebook/product-21830160.html

And lots more.

This is your chance to take advantage and get a bargain. I have no vested interest in this, no commission. So my only goal here is to make sure that people take advantage of a really good deal.

Nice!

 

Time to stock up on all the books I didn't grab the last time around. My recommendations for anyone at all interested in Nihonto would be the Ebook versions of:

 

Swordsmiths of Japan

Koto Kantei Zenshu

Koto Meikan

Shinto Meikan

Shinshinto Meikan

Shinto-Shinshinto Kantei Zenshu

 

All must have books for serious collectors and ridiculously cheap compared to any comparable books like Hawley's or Fujishiro's.

Yes, the prices are the reduced prices. For instance the Shinto/shinshinto Zenshu is a compendium of both the shinto shinshinto katntei books and the kantei supplement books so it is more expensive. The actual physical book is about $150 iirc and the normal price of the ebook around $90.

Thanks Brian for your kindness! I just added a note to the DTI thread because I didn't want to spam NMB with too much advertising of mine.

Strange, eSwordsmith should be there. Maybe some temprorary thing? Direct link is here:

@Klaus: Prices are already the reduces ones (eBooks work without voucher codes, so I have to lower the prices manually). I know, kind of 

expensive for an eBook but I just have to price every book in view of the entire whole, that means the better selling books kind of also have

to finance those where I put much work in but which are more for the Nihonto nerds and don't sell that much in general ;)

I went through the entire selection of books and I can not believe the breadth of the publications you have done Markus.

 

There has got to be many years of research and writing and editing for even a small part of the library. AMAZING . 

 

The pdf books can be read on a Kindle by the way - excellent value !  :clap:  :clap:

I ordered most of the books I was after when lulu had the 30% sale. Timing hey!? I'm still very happy with them, great books, interesting reads and very informative for nihonto study.

I had to join the ebook crowd as the prices were absolute steals. Now I can understand how easy to access the ebooks are as I have them on my PC and on my phone. So I can read them on the go.

 

I would strongly recommend getting Koshirae-taikan: http://www.lulu.com/shop/markus-sesko/koshirae-taikan/ebook/product-21676093.htmlThe pictures are amazing and you can zoom in. With this book I am really getting sucked into ebooks.

With this offer you can't refuse, i've jump into ebooks as well.

 

Thanks for those Meikan and Japanese Swordmiths, and thanks to Brian for the heads up, it would be a shame to pass through this ;-)

I do now want to hijack this thread, but just a short  question. :-)

Can I use the Kindle (from Amazon) to read the eBooks from Markus?

And if Yes, how can I copy the eBooks to this Kindle?

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one, unless your post is really relevant and adds to the topic..
