[Bill Grist]

Information on Raymond LaBar's new book Japanese Bayonets..This book will be excellent and set the norm for Japanese Bayonet collectors...BILL

BILL, This email is to notify you that my book BAYONETS OF JAPAN is at the
printer and I am now taking orders. I expect to have the book in hand
by the end of January. BAYONETS OF JAPAN has 480 pages in 8 ½ x 11
inch size with more than 1150 color photos. It is hard cover with
library style (side-sewn) binding to withstand years of use. The
retail price will be $120.00 plus postage but I am offering for a
limited time an introductory price of $100.00 plus postage.
Also available is a limited print of 100 numbered copies of the
'Collector's Edition'. These have a gold foil banner on the cover and
a specially printed title page. This edition is available for $130.00
plus shipping, sorry no discounts on this edition. If you are
interested in a copy of the 'Collector's Edition', please don't
hesitate to email me as I expect these to sell quickly.
I will be using the USPS flat rate boxes for shipping and the cost is
$9.00 US, 23.00 Canada, and $37.00 International. Two books will fit
in one box so if you would like to purchase one for a friend it will
save on postage.
Check or money order payable to "Raymond LaBar" is preferred and my
website www.bayonetsofjapan.com will be updated next week with PayPal
links.
You may contact me at rlabar@windstream.net or by phone 706-694-3522.

Nice to see this - we need more books on Japanese items. Can you recommend any dealers that have Japanese edged weapons for sale? The big dealers, like the Ruptured Duck & the two Toms, seem to have little or nothing.
