    Description

    Mint, new condition copy of "Sure Defense: The Bowie Knife in America" by William B Worthen and Mark D. Zalesky.  Neatly signed by both authors on the title page, from a special event when the book was released back in 2017. Published by the Historic Museum of Arkansas, the state where the bowie knife was born and a museum that has an amazing collection of bowies. Hardcover. 445 pages. About 12" x 9" and about 6 pounds in weight!  Packed full of research and outstanding, glossy photographs of more than 200 important Bowie knives. Embossed cover. A high quality book all the way.
    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.
