Updated for 2010 with some new titles.
Yet again, too much stuff and not enough dollars. I love books, and I idly collect and accumulate them. Most of these were purchased new, but some were used when I got them. They've all been handled and read, but are in good shape unless noted otherwise (of course, some of the older titles look their age).
I got a headache looking up pricing on Amazon and Alibris- some of these are out of print and apparently go up for sale at ridiculous prices. I'm less interested in getting top dollar than in paying some bills and buying groceries, so feel free to make an offer if you think a price is too high.
About the only trades I'm interested in right now are laminated Moras or decent-sized pieces of sheath leather.
All prices include shipping in the US via Media Mail. I can take Paypal (no fee) or a USPS money order. First "I'll take it" posted in this thread gets it. You can reach me via PM or my forum e-mail, j_roth42 At yahoo Dot com. Please note I'm often at work and away from the computer and can only consistently check communications mornings and evenings. Let me know if you have any questions. I don't know much of the specifics of book grading but I'll do what I can.
Knife Fighting Encyclopedia Vol. 1 by W. Hock Hockheim- softcover, Lauric Press, 2nd ed., 2000. In fair shape- several dogeared pages but otherwise fine. Out of print, and for some reason all the copies I can find online are all (mint,) signed by the author, and cost upwards of $125.00, though Mr. Hockheim himself gave the book one star in a review on Amazon. I’ll try $ 20.00.
