Tsuba books

[Spartancrest]

I have just added a companion volume to my book "Early Articles for Tsuba Study 1880-1923". The new book is called "Additional Early Articles for Tsuba Study". Both books are available from 'Barnes and Noble' book store at a little more affordable price than Amazon can match. As well as these two books, both volumes of "Public Domain Tsuba in the Metropolitan Museum of Art" can be found on the 'Barnes and Noble' site and likewise at a marginally cheaper cost than Amazon. They may be available cheaper on other sites depending on what companies are available in your country of origin.

Can you show a couple of pages so that one can decide if this would be a good addition to one's library?

A selection of pages from "Additional Articles for Tsuba Study" 

The contents page displays only some of the articles contained, as the list is extensive.

There are a number of French and German translated articles including one partially shown. All illustrations are in B&W, being originally that way or sepia.

 

Also just listed on Abebooks.

Dale's Early article books are great, to have so many past published articles on Tsuba collated and presented in the way he has done it, is a pleasure. Brings another life to an otherwise forgotten article.

 

The 'Tsuba in the Metropolitan Museum of Art' books are great too, on a personal note, I have gripes with the the MET website (is another discussion), so to have a printed format is great, my wife has even flicked through them a few times too!

Stephen does not mention he was a great help in the layout and proofreading of this book - too modest!

We have never met and live 3,848 km from each other. For our American friends that is close to the same distance as Los Angeles to New York.

Hi Dale

I was going to send you a pm but that option was not available. Thank you for posting the images. These old eyes find the pages difficult to read.

Barry & all

I just sent off an order for four soft cover books, that results in a cost of $28AU per book plus postage, for anyone interested in a much cheaper option than Amazon. This is a one off offer due to a special discount to me which will expire tonight my time. I expect the books to arrive within another week for anyone who wants a copy just let me know - no rush, as I say the books won't turn up for awhile.

[Spartancrest]

Due to what I see as excessive delivery costs overseas. I have to withdraw the book offer to any overseas buyers - it is cheaper for them to buy online, even if I could get the books sent to me free - which won't happen. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Totally agree. The MET has some amazing tsubas, but I wish their site was more like the MFA's gallery design.
