Looks good. But are all the pics in B&W?

And what is the name of that knife on the right in the first pic?

Here is what they sent to me.

"The book costs 95 euros, but for the first days of sale, it will cost 85 euro ( plus a book shipping costs for U.S.A. 22.75 euro, if you take two book the shipping cost is 30,44 euro).
Total 107.75

You can pay with a bank transfer."


Shipping is a bit high, but guess it is via air mail, or courier service such as DHL, or FedEx, or ?

Hi, nice to meet you!
Yes, the shipping is with UPS and it'll be fast shipping. The book is printed in Italy, in the most important typography and bookbinding in Italy. It's hardbound. Every photos is made with Canon Mark 3, the high quality of this camera allows us to read the brands and every little detail too. In the first pic, the back cover, there are on the left "The G. Bet" from Maniago (in. 23,6, sambar deer horn) and on the right "The Durante Giovinale" from Frosolone, this knife is made by Di Maria (in. 21,6, cow horn handle). The photo I published is in low definition because here in the forum I can't load above 1 mb. The text is also in English.
I'm an Italian Collector, and I've 4500 pieces of Italian Folding Knives. This book is my passion.
If you have other questions, I'm here.
Sorry for my bad english!
Bye Paolo

I just bought 3 copies! I can’t wait to see the beautiful book.

I have spoken with the author and it sounds like he is setting up a PayPal account for easier payments.
