According to the book The Martial Arts-An Annotated Bibliography by
Randy F. Nelson with Katherine C. Whitaker, Steve Armstrong wrote a
book titled An Introduction To Karate, which was self published in
1971 in Washington state. I have been checking the usual sources
(bookfinder.com, ebay, half, amazon, etc), but have never even seen a
copy listed anywhere. Where can I obtain a copy of this book? |

Do you want to purchase it, or will you be satisfied if we locate it
in a library near you? If you're happy to find it in a library, where
do you live?

I would prefer to purchase it, but if that is not possible, finding a
library copy would okay. I live in Rochester, NY, but will be visiting
the Seattle/Tacoma area in a month and a half, and since it was
published in that area (Steve Armstrong's dojo was in Tacoma), it may
be able to be found out there.

I can't find any evidence of its existence, hingethunder, although it
certainly may have without much documentation, especially if
self-published.
I did find Mr. Armstrong's contact mail address, valid as of 2001.
Unfortunately, Mr. Armstrong has been in a veterans' hospital for
several years, after suffering a series of strokes, but welcomes mail.
If you'd like that contact information, I can provide it.
regards,
rico

will ask him about it.
