Better list these before I forget again.
Shipping in the US runs $3 via USPS Media Mail for the first book, an additional $1 for each additional book. If you're outside the US, PM me and we'll try to work something out. Paypal preferred, money orders etc are OK but will delay shipping as I only get to the bank once or twice a month.
--A Guide to Handmade Knives: The Official Directory of The Knifemakers Guild by Mel Tappan. (This was the first directory, and has a lot of early knifemakers in it. Copyright is 1977) $10 plus shipping
--Today's Knifemakers: An Official Directory of the Knifemakers Guild edited by the staff at Blade magazine. This is from 1988 if I'm reading the Roman numerals correctly. Larger format than the first one, and better quality on the illustrations, but many of the first members are no longer listed. $10 plus shipping
(It could be real interesting to take a look at all the past makers, and see which continued in the business for more than a few years. I've been thinking that for years, never gotten around to doing so!)
--The Standard Knife Collector's Guide, 3rd edition by Roy Ritchie and Ron Stewart. Copyright 1997. The prices aren't of much use today, but there is some good company history, and excellent illustrations (many in color). $7 plus shipping
Thanks for looking!
