	Looking for books about crafting japanese swords. - Sword Forum International
		The two books you've ordered are intended to show people what the smith and other craftsmen do to make Japanese swords and their fittings but those books are not intended to be instruction manuals to teach other people how to do the work involved.
		I can't comment on the polishing book personally, but I have briefly discussed it on another forum with a polisher in the US who saw a pre-release version of it and who said that it's similar in nature to the Craft book.
		He does great work and he goes into great detail in his books, but what I was looking for more specifically was books on the crafting of Japanese style blades and the various parts to be able to mount it in the traditional fashion.

	Books With Swords-Fire/Wands-Air...? - Aeclectic Tarot Forum
		i like better the way that swords are built out of fire (metal melting and being shaped) and wands/trees grow in the air, actually using it to grow.
		The Witches Tarot, on another current thread, is one of those decks wherein Swords are equated with fire.
		Interesting is the author's comparison, in her book, of the meanings of her cards and other cards -- an effort that helps those who have a hard time getting used to the switch from air to fire.

	SciFan: Books: Sky of Swords by Dave Duncan (from our database of Fantasy & SF novels, anthologies, collections)
		But this devilish author knew what he was up to, and Sky of Swords promises to answer all your questions.
		But this time we're looking through the eyes of Princess Malinda, this book's irascible (she is Ambrose's daughter, after all) but ultimately likable heroine.
		We learn about Malinda's bumpy upbringing, but Swords doesn't really get interesting until the aftermath of Ambrose's death, the ensuing threat of civil war, and the outcome of Malinda's trial for treason (which begins on page 1, but in true Duncan fashion, doesn't actually happen until near the book's finale).
