B854.  Nihonto Tsuba Kodogu Yuhin Zuikan.  1971.  Clothbound with plastic jacket.  7 1/4 x 10 1/4″, 188 pages in Japanese.  The first 69 pages of this book are given to sharp black & white photos of great blades; the next 60 are photos of tsuba and kodogu, all fine pieces.

The covers are a bit bowed outward, due, I believe, to a recent drastic change in humidity (the book just arrived from a desert).  My experience is that this will correct itself.  Otherwise condition is excellent.  2 pounds.  $40.
