Whilst 'excavating' through a literal mountain of our old business files and records I came across a large unmarked box. Thinking it was yet another series of Daily records or accounts files - I put it to one side to be checked later. this afternoon I was looking for some particular things so decided to check the unmarked box.
OMG
- it was full to the brim of my old Karate and Martial Arts Books and VHS tapes. it is literally a little Goldmine of things that i had rforgotten I had! 
There is all kinds of stuff including Jujitsu Books written in the late 1800's - some very early Karate Books. Very old film of everything from early JKA champs to the original unedited JKA Kumite film complete with editors 5 second count ins etc.
Some are first edition prints and i even have some pre publication trial run 'spiral bound' copies of one authors earliest books.
there are even vhs film of me teaching in the 80's. Dave Hooper doing classes and Dave Pridgeon teaching. in the classes are some very well known Karateka and even some OSS Members - Andy Upton for example.
There are books on KI, Zanshin and the Martial Arts and several autobiography Titiles.
I shall be having fun going through it all. I have already noticed that I have one of the books at least 4 times so I shall offer some copies for quiz prizes here on OSS.
A nice little find eh?
