New Old Book Service



Hi Friends,


We are adding a new service on our website. My two greatest loves are edged weapons and books. The obvious marriage is a love of books on edged weapons. Therefore, I am scouring the internet to bring you hardbound and/or original copies of the classic knife fighting texts by the masters: Fairbairn, Styers, Biddle, and Cassidy. We all know there are cheap reprints available but there is a nostalgia or certain pleasure in owning early or original copies. (On occasion a copy signed by the owner is found.) If you are looking for a unique gift or a copy for yourself then check our website to see what is available. Remember that many of these are over 60 years old and not easy to find. We will price them according to the price we have to pay. We know that many of you enjoy the same things we do and our desire is to connect the right people with the right products. Many of these books are timeless and priceless views into the not so distant past when men at arms struggled hand to hand with other enemies and fought in other wars.
