I came across this book and was wondering if anyone was familiar with it or the author?
Goju-Ryu Karate-Do Desk Reference 2nd Edition
剛柔流空手道 机参照
Volume 1: Introduction & Historic Chronology
武道, 武術の歴史
by John Paul Williams
It is a little pricey, but it is 450 pages in length. It has a few decent reviews, so I have some hopes for it. Has anyone read or seen it? Or maybe you know or have met the author?
Thanks.

The hardback version is $119.99, the paperback is $69.99 and the Kindle version is $55.99.
This is the 2nd edition of the first volume and shows a publication date of 10/25/21.
It does have very high ratings. Unfortunately, those are not always the most reliable.
