Anyone got any information when Facts and Fundamentals of Japanese Swords: A Collector's Guide is coming up for reprint ?

Hi

 

i believe the book Facts and Fundamentals of Japanese Swords: A Collector's Guide, is coming up for reprint ? Has anyone hear anything ( I want the book but don’t fancy spending £175-200 on a book that’s just about to be reprinted to be honest).

 

cheers Jon

Not sure about a reprint but here are few links for less than £175. I may be in the minority, but really like the discussion in the book and strongly recommend it, with the caveat to understand the context of the statements in the book. the book definitely changed how I look at Japanese Swords.

Hi Alexi, unfortunately they all lead to being out of stock..there are a number of websites around the world where you can no pre order a copy, but no specific date as yet…so I suspect it’s coming out again soon…there are a serious number of book sellers trying to gouge on this book..there are copies for sale for 800+ dollars…I will just have to wait for the reprint…

 

iIts odd how it works with books like this,  one person Tries their arm then everyone is sticking them on for silly money…
