B594.  “Nihonto Newsletter” by Albert Yamanaka.  1968 to 1972.  A monthly newsletter bound in five 3 ring binders, 8 1/2 x 11″, 1,000s of pages in English.  This is the original “Nihonto Newsletter”, a wealth of information and an important reference ever since it was released.  Pretty much everything Nihonto is covered, including material you won’t find in any other book (missing National Treasure swords and who the Tokugawa were giving swords to in Edo time, for example).  You will find an index to the Newsletters at japaneseswordindex.com  Reformatted reprints by the Northern California Sword Club are fairly common; the original monthly is scarce.

A great reference at a very reasonable price.

Condition is excellent.  12 pounds, 4 ounces.  $125.
