Hi,



I'm currently looking for a hardcopy of the japanese english kendo dictionary. It's out of stock everywhere I have been looking :
- amazon.com
- zen ken ren shop
- ebogu
- budovideos
- ninecircles
Would you have any other suggestion ?



Thanks a lot

Its out of stock at e-Bogu and pretty much everywhere as the ZNKR doesn't have a current printing. Have you tried an auction site like eBay?

hmmm, is there a reason why they stopped publishing it?
Low demand?

One of our members wrote and asked AJKF about it and they responded that they did not know if and when they would publish it again.

If they don't do it soon I'll take one apart and scan it to a PDF. Really don't want to do this as I prefer to buy it. Goes against my grain to do that.

Perhaps Alex Bennett Sensei can get a better answer from them.

Don't know why they stopped printing. But I have to say I am glad I bought mine years ago when it was still available. I have had it for about 5-6 years and use it regularly. hopefully you'll be able to find one new or used somewhere.

I have one at work and home. Plus I have a copy of the predecessor done by Shioiri sensei. That is the one on my web page. Haven't got around to finishing it though.

Interestingly, the first edition I saw said it was produced by a Japanese motorcycle association. It had a white cover. I gave it to a student when I got the newer edition, with the green cover.

Hi,



I would like to thank everybody for your input. Seems like it's out of stock everywhere. But as Alex bennett senseď has said, there wxill probably be a revised edition in the near future so I will wait.



Thanks

Alex can you give us a heads up on how different they are, will it be benifical to get the new one if we already have the old one.
revised= extra content or mainly updated content?
cheers
