Ken-Hawaii Posted May 6, 2020 Report Posted May 6, 2020 Your writeups continue to be enlightening, Yurie. In your 29 April post, you reference "Sette" &Settu," but do you mean "Settsu?" Quote
yurie Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Posted May 8, 2020 Hi Ken -Hawai Thank you very much pointing me the mistake. I changed it now. After staring at my writing so many times, my eyes get funny. It is hard to notice the misspellings. To prepare the book, I hired a person for editing and correcting my writing. Also, I am re-arranging here and there. Maybe by the beginning of the next year, I hope I am ready to publish the book. Thank you Yurie 2 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted May 8, 2020 Report Posted May 8, 2020 Oh, good, Yurie! I hadn't heard that you had decided to publish a book, but I think it's a great idea. I hope you'll put out a PDF, as well as a hardcopy, as I carry most of my references around on my high-resolution 12" tablet. Quote
BIG Posted May 9, 2020 Report Posted May 9, 2020 Promise when your book is published, it will be a must have for every collector. Be patient, .. Best Quote
