Looks good. You'll have to give us a review.
FWIW Wikipedia is actually not a bad starting point for anyone wanting to know more about these figures and events. _________________ "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius |

Cool, I'll be sure to check it out, too. I'll give a review when I get it finished. I just got in the mail today! Can't wait! _________________ www.haysgym.com

Yeah, I'm not sure how some of that pricing happens. Maybe it was used and autographed? Not sure. I didn't think the price was too bad, and if it reflected what the small blurbs that he put in his Hae Sul books showed, it would be worth the cost to me. After reading it, it was worth it. I'll be posting a review in the Martial Arts Research Library thread soon. _________________ www.haysgym.com

The pricing will happen like that because people can choose whatever price they want. There is a used copy of my book going for $595.41. Or you could buy it new for $16.43. Whatever works. Heh.

LOL!! That makes it easy to understand, and to see, why some books are extremely high. Many MA books that were published many moons ago are fetching hundreds of dollars, for whatever the reason(s) may or may not be. I don't know if the high prices are justified because said book(s) are no longer published, but when I see an old Oyama or Nishiyama book costing hundreds of dollars, when new, they'd cost hardly anything new.
It's what the market will bear, I suppose.
