Has anyone seen any galley copies of this sword book?
Guide to Imperial Japanese Military and Civil Swords – A reference book for Japanese swords from 1873-1945
Any thoughts? Comparable to Dawson's book?
Thanks for any insights!

Hi Tom,
First I've heard of this book. Looks like a massive reference at over 500 pages ... so probably priced per pound!!
I'll have to keep my eyes open for it. Thanks for the heads-up.

I first became aware of the book back in September 2021; however, it is not yet published. The collection used to illustrate the book is being sold off. See the link below for your better reading enjoyment.

I contacted one of the sellers about the email not working. He is going to pass the information along. Below are some links to some of the swords that are for sale. The pictures of the swords are over at Dropbox and one can view them unless they are already sold. I encountered no problems when contacting the seller via private message.
