2016 President's Book awards..."The Latama Legend"
For the second time in 5 years a book about Switchblade knives, the knives we all love, was awards two medals of excellence!! The first was "Art of the Switchblade" in 2012 which won two gold medals from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association and now "The Latama Legend" can be added to this short list of award winning books on Switchblade knives!
Last night at the 2016 Presidents Book awards in beautiful Lake Buena Vista (a suburb of Orlando), Florida at the Disney Hilton resort "The Latama Legend" book was awarded two Medals in two different categories from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Hundreds of book were submitted throughout 2015 and 2016 and many features really beautiful design and layouts ranging from Children's books, to books on Health and Fitness, Business ethics and on Prisoners of war at Auschwitz.
The first category was for best cover design, and "The Latama Legend" was awarded a silver medal. The book also received another silver medal for Best Non-fiction book.
It was an exciting night and I brought along my beautiful 10 year old daughter as my date for the evening and she said, "...dad I don't think I've ever been to something so fancy!" (She's wonderful)!
All and all a great night and something our hobby should be proud of!!

I just ordered my copy. Free shipping too.
Re: 2016 President's Book awards..."The Latama Legend"
I really wanted a Honey horn Latama stamped classic, but there weren't any left. I already have one in dark horn.
Re: 2016 President's Book awards..."The Latama Legend"
Smart move! The info I this book can't be found anywhere else. And it's not just Latama, there is new, unknown information on many of the best NYC companies importing stilettos, Panamex, Omega, Ethan, Astor, IMCo, etc, etc.COCONUTS wrote:I just ordered my copy. Free shipping too.
