Description: This terrific copy of A Book of Five Rings. the classic guide to strategy written by undefeated Japanese warrior Miyamoto Musashi from a cave, a few months before his death in 1645. “Few works of literature speak almost equally to the businessman, the philosopher, and the practitioner of the marshal arts — in this case, Japanese sword fighting, or Kendo. Musashi’s great classic, until now unknown in the West, except by reputation, is one which speaks to all three. Famous for over 300 years as the guide to Kendo, A BOOK OF FIVE RINGS is one of the most perceptive psychological guides to strategy ever written.” The book appears to be a 1st edition, and 40th printing of the 1974 Overlook Press edition. Beneath the dust jacket, the book is pristine - appearing new and unread. The dust jacket shows some shelving wear - foxing, small tears discreetly repaired on the inside, and the remnants of a large store price tag removed from the back of the DJ. We care deeply about books and carefully inspect, clean, and take photos of those we sell so that you can see the actual item you are considering and bid with confidence, rather than taking a chance on a stock photo. We want you to love your purchase. Please ask any questions before bidding - we are happy to help! We also reuse clean recycled packaging to try to lessen our impact, and do our best to package with care so that your book will arrive safely. :)
