Books for sale to benefit Brian's trip

[Mark]

i have 12 books. They are approx 6" x 9" and in Japanese but have pictures. All are used but seem in decent condition.

 

Terms:  Books are $20 each, If you want one please post here so we all see it, you will pay Brian $20 (he will post instructions). He will let me know payment is made and i will ship the book. I will cover U.S. Media mail, if a book is sent outside the U.S. the buyer will have to pay me to cover shipping (i will send however the buyer requests).  This way Brian gets the full amount of book sales.

 

Here is a chance to help Brian with some small trip expenses and also get something to enjoy

 

Koichi Moriyama kindly translated the tiles, a big thanks!

[Mark S.]

I will take #1, #4, #11 & #12

Brian deserves a nice trip 

[Brian]

Massive thanks Mark, and umm...Mark
And a huge thanks to Moriyama san for the assistance with labeling/translating. Payment can be done via THIS link for a change. It is slightly different to the forum one and I'll keep these funds separate. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/japanesesword
I'll notify Mark once received. Note the japanesesword (without s at the end. I do have both links, but this one will be for US expenses)
Once paid, please drop @Mark a message with your shipping address. If in the US, he'll ship, otherwise you can arrange with him for the shipping cost.
Some nice books there. Mark, that naginata/yari one sounds very interesting. Post some pics when you receive it.
Thanks again guys.

[Mark S.]

Payment sent… requested pictures will be… $80 

 

Be happy to post some pics once books get here.  PM’ing Mark with shipping info.  Have a safe and enjoyable trip.

[Mark]

Picture of the 4 books.  I picked pages with nice pictures 

[dimitri]

Grr #5 and #7 for me, and also trip Brian.  

Sorry, I don’t know what’s going on, I have connections problème and i’m missing words and the update does not display anything.

 

Mark you have to see for the shipping cost for France.

Thank you very much.

[Brian]

#5 and #7 on hold for Dimitri, Mark will advise you on shipping thanks.

[Marius]

I declare that I will do the same. I may not have as many books, but I trust enough to raise some funds for Brian. 

 

I will be able to take pics of the books on Friday...

 

Brain, will you kindly email me with instructions?

[Brian]

Thanks Marius! Will email when I get home. Something for the European buyers...less shipping.

[Marius]

Brian, I am looking forward to this sale 

 

[Brian]

#2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 still available, some nice books at a bargain price.

I'll arrange Marius's ones tonight. Thanks all.

[Mark S.]

Books arrived already!  Now that’s fast!  Brian made payment as easy as could be and Mark delivered some excellent and interesting books.  His communication and ease of making this happen were second to none.  Here is a quick pic.  I will try to take a few of the contents tomorrow.  Get what’s left quick!

 

Thanks Mark and Brian!

 

[Seth]

[Brian]

Lucky! Books on naginata/yari are few and far between, and seldom have many pics. Awesome book...enjoy.

If no one grabbed it, I was going to go for that Intro to Shinshinto book.  Glad you got it… kinda. 

[Mark]

2, 3, 10 are still available. I looked at them, 2 and 3 have some pictures dealing with working on swords, 10 has quite a few pictures of nice swords.   Remember i will pay for Media Mail in the U.S. so no extra costs

[Brian]

3 left guys. With free shipping in the USA, these are less than a half decent meal.
Any offers for all 3? Let's close out this generous offer by Mark. Thanks for the support all.

[Mark]

The last 3 books are sold....... Big thanks to Tim Pepin https://www.samuraisword.com/  check out his website, there is a lot of great information

 

 

Thanks to all who helped and hopefully Brian will enjoy his trip.  Brian does a lot of hard work promoting our hobby, we should all show our appreciation

 

 

[Marius]

Congratulations Mark (and Brian )

I wish my six remaining books here would sell (sale is for the benefit of the NMB):

 

 

[Brian]

Huge support from Tim (one of the good dealers we have!) and Mark and Marius.
Many thanks guys! Marius, you'll have to wait a few years before I can make it that side to thank you.

[dimitri]

Hello everyone. Thanks Mark for the books. They have arrived today in France. Thank you so much.
