Googlebooks has made it easier for scholars and practitioners of the sword to obtain copies of difficult to find rare books.  You can obtain a copy of most of these that way so please check there first.  If you can’t get it online then I am still happy to work with you to obtain a copy of the following books. It may take a while so please be patient. If you have any questions please contact me at jared@jaredkirby.com
