The above link goes to my blog post about this project. Originally published in 1898. Fully illustrated, the entire book is reproduced and translated.:nw:
Totally awesome!:wave:

Yeah, it totally sucks compared to lulu.com but it makes it available to a much wider audience.
The books still come out looking great, just the upload user interface is kinda low tech

Actually, I have already translated them. I just have to transfer my written translation to the computer and add in the images....which takes almost as long as translating it...:cry:

Well, I don't know if these books are well known outside Japan but they were some of the first comprehensive martial arts books in Japan, combining descriptions of a number of arts. I think they're great.
Why do you post the Table of Contents?
