Sorry I don't have the "Best of " book, I would be interested to see a copy of it

Just checked Amazon.

This is what the description says about the book:

This book combines the most important examples from each of M.H. Cole's classic books on military knives into a single, well organized volume. The military knife collector no longer needs to track down elusive copies of the books popularly known as Cole I, Cole II, Cole III, and Cole IV. In short, this book has become the new standard reference for U.S. military knife and bayonet collectors. Assembled with the assistance of military knife authority Mike Silvey, the new book has been organized for easy use and is illustrated throughout with Cole's well known and artful line drawings. If you don't have the series of M.H. Cole's books, this is a must-have volume; if you do, it's a worthwhile addition to your library simply to have all of the material gathered together in order and in a single volume.

Price is $177

I appreciate the help. I kind of figured, by the name, it was a conglomeration of books 1-4, but wasn’t sure. The price on The Best Of.. is keeping me from getting it & it’s only going up.
