Re: Books
I've searched for "The Latama Legend", but seems nowhere to be found. I can't comment on how good it is, because I could never find it lol. In fact, I've never even heard/read any discussions on it.

Re: Books
Yes... I know this question... I picked up switchblades of italy, art of the switchblade, and antique american switchblades.
These 3 are the start of my reference library. They are hard to find, especially at a reasonable price. Gimme a bit to track down who I bought them from and prices. Should be a starting point at least.

Re: Books
We are certainly aware of the book's existence, but where can it be found to purchase? I've looked quite a bit with no luck.

Re: Books
...yes, Walt Halucha had mentioned that a while back. Certainly looking forward to it. But, I think it's a new book, not the original. I could be mistaken.
