Enquiry on pamor name

[A. G. Maisey]

YS, it is likely to cost you.

BIG.

I bought my copy immediately it was published, forget when that was, but a long time ago.

Over the last few years I have seen it for sale at anywhere from $US25 to $US1500.

There are other books on pattern welding too, one i've heard of is by somebody called "Schiffer" which is supposedly the Duck's Guts of pattern welding, but i've never seen it.

There are other books too, like Figiel "On Damascus Steel", & Sasche "Damascus Steel" these are very informative books and will help enormously in understanding how pamor patterns are created.

I suggest that a read through this thread might be useful, maybe very useful:-

I think the book is still in print. I just ordered a copy on that imfamous online mega-site that put a giant phallus in space. LOL!
Paperback edition is just $36 CAD.

$36CAD sounds more than reasonable.

Some of the prices I've seen myself, and have had others tell me about are just purely crazy.

I've also ordered this book, it cost me 45 USD.

I agreed with Alan the price range of this book is huge, I saw from 25 USD to 225USD I wonder why.

Cheers,

The book appears to have been reprinted in soft covers; that would account for the lower price. The earlier printing in hard covers should see a reduction in price as scarcity no longer drives the cost.

Just ordered a copy for $50 US. The softcovers seem to sell for around $17.
