The legendary sharpness of Japanese swords is widely known, and through the activities of various martial arts practitionerÕs information on tameshigiri has also become more accessible in the recent years. But, for a large part, this information focusses on modern cutting tests and only briefly discusses the historical aspect. As far as sword collectors are concerned, the subject of tameshigiri has been approached by several experts in the past, but here too information is rather limited. This publication systematically processes this subject for the first time to provide an overview of the historical aspect of tameshigiri. Not only are the developments from mere sword tests to systematic cutting tests are addressed, it also explains the sword testers, the various cuts and set-ups for cuts, and the practice of recording cutting test results on sword tangs for example. It is rounded-off by a reference section which provides examples of tameshi-mei.

Good book
Format: Kindle
Brie the trailer trash girl that went to show girl then to mob wife, well with a twist. Brie is smart not just a blonde bimbo. She is trying to figure out who killed her husband the Don Colombo. Nik is with the Consortium trying to work her why up and be strong and show loyalty, till she is older to obey Brie and helping her stay alive after someone is trying to take her out. The number one thing you don't do.... Don't get involved... Yep Nik is a goner. Good book can't wait for the next book

I wish the story was longer
Format: Kindle
I wish the story was longer, there were things left hanging. Perhaps there will be a follow up book? The story was good, who doesn't love two women stranded alone on an island with nothing to do but make love all day?

Sizzling
Format: Kindle
This book has some of the hottest sex scenes I’ve read, and I’ve read a few. The beauty of it is that they were not gratuitous, or ill placed. It all worked because the characters were well developed and believable. I didn’t think stranded on a desert island could be hot and sex for all of the practical reasons you can think of. The talent of the writing is that it extends beyond that to closeness, fear, companionship in a way that rounds the storyline out. The road isn’t easy for the MCs and that makes for an exciting read. I didn’t give five stars for the copious grammar and editing errors. Also, the author had me invested hook, line, and sinker but then rushed the ending. The grand gesture is made less grand by the choppy scene that preceded it. It spoiled what could have been an extremely romantic ending.

Another winner!
Format: Kindle
This is the 3rd book that I've read by this author, & everyone of them scored a 5 star review. The only negative on this book, is that the ending seemed rather abrupt. Hopefully, there will be a continuation of this story.
