Well, we have arrived at Volume 5 of Honma’s Appraisal Diary. This volume, which covers the year 1976, introduces on ca. 385 pages 285 blades, meaning we have now arrived at a total of about 1,970 pages of text and 1,506 featured blades in this series. The price is yet again $99, which includes shipping.
If you would like to order a copy, and/or have any questions, please reach out via markus.sesko@gmail.com
Dear Readers,
After a too long gap, which is all on me and not on anyone else involved with this project, I am happy to announce that Volume 3 of the series is finished! Yes, this is not a drill; I repeat, this is not a drill! In the next few days, I am tweaking the cover layout to match the first two volumes and check my proof copy upon arrival. After that, Volume 3 is good to go!
That said, for those who pre-ordered the set, please get in touch with me via markus.sesko@gmail.com in case your address has changed the last few years. I will also reach out directly, but if you get in touch with me in case you moved, this would save me some time and is very much appreciated!
Below, I am attaching the table of content of Volume 3. I think I have mentioned this before, but most of Volumes 4 and 5 is already translated and “just” needs proofreading/editing and layout, etc.
I sincerely thank you all for your patience!
Markus Sesko
