B1008.  A Study of the Eastern Sword by Kirill Rivkin & Brian Isaac.  2017.  Hardbound, 9 1/4 x 12 3/4″, 359 pages in English.  I’m branching out a bit here; this and its companion book (see B1007) are beyond my normal but were too beautiful (and reasonably priced) to pass up.  Quality binding, very thorough text with hundreds of crisp color photographs: great book.  You will be pleased.

The book is new, unread.  If you don’t know how to properly open a new book for the 1st time be sure to see the bottom paragraph on my Articles page.  5 pounds, 2 ounces.  $50.
