Default New Book: "The Japanese Chose the Smith & Wesson"

A new book has just been published detailing the use of Smith and Wesson handguns by the Imperial Japanese government and military.

The publication is 70 pages in length and incorporates many color photos, black and white drawings and comprehensive listings of surviving examples. Ron Curtis and Roy Jinks made significant contributions to this work.

Copies may be ordered directly from the author for $18.00 postpaid using the attached flier. Shipping for overseas orders will be additional.

I have no financial or other interest in this publication; I'm simply helping out a friend and fellow author.

This is a great book at a bargain price and exceptional source of info. on S&Ws that went to Japan and the Far East. The authors are recognized authorities on Japanese arms. I recommend it to all serious antique S&W collectors. Ed.

As I understand, sales for the book have been good. The printing run was for a total of only 150 copies, so if you plan to purchase a copy, it might be best to do so soon.
