[Markus]

Hi all!

 

Finally, my latest book project (in German) is now available in online bookstores.

It is called "Geschichten rund ums japanische Schwert" and deals with many legends,

myths, interesting stories and anecdotes around famous Japanese swords (for example

the provenance of many meitô) and smiths.

200 pages, A5, paperback, 52 s/w pics. Price 29,90 Euro.

 

It can be ordered via amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.de/Geschichten-rund-u ... 515&sr=8-2

 

or directly at Books on Demand:

Many thanks for your interest,

Markus

 

PS: Those who will meet me at one of our next meetings can also get a copy directly from me.

Congratulations for the book publishing. :D :D

Well done Markus!

I think that makes it 5 or 6 published authors on the forum?

So any chance of an English translation in the near future? Sounds like a great book.

Have you done any books before this one?

Hi Markus!

 

Sounds very interesting!

I also wonder like Brian if there will be any english translation of it.

Thank you all for your kind words. :D

I´m thinking about an English version, but I´m already working at

a new project (this time bilingual, English/German) at the moment.

Maybe I could start in summer, let´s see... Keep you informed.

Hi,

According to the table of contents on your book on AMAZON site,i am so glad because you are describing famous Tachi-sword of Hotaru-Maru (Rai Kunitoshi sword).

This book might introduce about Hotaru-Maru to the European people for the first time.(?)

Thank you for the description of the legend of Hotaru-maru and a sad history background.
