My wife was involved with the production of this book, and she bought me one for my birthday that year. I had recently sold a number of bowie knife books from the estate of a collector and when I got a copy of this one, I saw the quality and the value and immediately went down and bought three more.  They are that nice. This is the last one remaining of the three.
