Hi Jun and ppl
Wishes for a Happy New Year aside (it's 1/1 after all), count me in for a hickory bokken by WoodenSwords.com (you can see it in
http://www.woodenswords.com/AMA/bokken.htm), a hardback copy of Westbrook& Ratti's "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" (yeah, the book every aikidoka loves to hate), a paperback copy of Stevens' "The Shambhala Guide to Aikido"
http://www.shambhala.com/html/catalo...7062-170-5.cfm -good all around intro for beginners) and a sew on badge of my dojo (Hellenic Aikido Association).
Bokken and books are in good condition -the bokken has been used only 2-3 times for kumitachi practice and very little for kata and the books' only flaws are a little wear on the dust jackets and my signature in the title page for the "Dynamic Sphere" and a little spinal/cover wear and signature in tilte page for "Guide".
Hope these help for starters. I'll check around and see if I can gather something else from friends/dojo mates -why do these things have to happen on holidays when no-one is available?
Lots of ki and wishes go to Miss Bowen and her family.
