Native American Bow - Alistair Hamilton

[High-Desert]

I was looking for books with more information on NA bows and the book Native American Bows popped up, but it's pretty spendy, does anyone have this book that can verify its worth $65-70? Obviously that is subjective, but the more information I can learn about these bow the better. Thank you

[Stick Bender]

My mistake I see you posted the author don't know about that one but Jim Hamm has some nice books on NA bows the Encyclopedia of Native American bows arrows & quivers  for reasonable money  over the week end I will go threw my library & post some more titles for you.

[High-Desert]

Great, thank you. I have a few of Jim Hamms book, it just seem no amount of information is enough.

Here is a few in my library I'm under construction right now & have books every where so these were easy to get to ,will post more when I find them the bottom 2 have nothing to do with bow making but a interesting native read.

I'll have to see if I can find those last two. I have many books on Native Americans and am always looking to add to the collection, but I have all the others you have there. If you find any more, please, let me know. I'm looking for all the information I can.

Thanks,

Eric

Ok I will post when I do ,I just picked up a copy of Hamiltons book the one you named used good condition on the net tonight $26

[High-Desert]

That's a really good price. Everything I've seen so far has been $65-75. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a better deal

I got it much cheaper, probably less than $20. At that price, I would buy a newer version of "The Bow Builder's Book: European Bow Building from the Stone Age to Today". I seem to have misplace the older version I have.

[Stick Bender]

Yep HD that's the prices I was seeing ,also keep in mind mine was listed Good condition with the caveat  ,yellowed pages & slightly bumpy spine & fading cover so will see when I get it ,as long as I can read it I'm ok with that.

[Stick Bender]

Got my copy today haven't  had a chance to read it threw ,but did a long look threw its very good book on the subject & has good coverage on composite bows , there was some notes & pics on  Rusian native composite bows that I have never seen before ,really cool  It's a great book but would say it would be over priced at the price most retailers are asking $65 at $27 bucks to my door step it's was worth it & this one was in better condition then they said which was a surprise.

I'll keep looking to see if I can find it cheaper. Did you pirchase it private party?
