If this book was by the MacLeods or other notable Immortals….then I’d trust their expertise on concealing katanas, and what not!

As I recall, at one point, the Japanese Emperor forbade the samurai from carrying weapons in public. The samurai then proceeded to disguise their katanas as walking sticks so they could secretly continue carrying them around in public. So, yes, the book probably does say something about how to conceal a katana; though advice on concealing things like that handgun would be more immediately useful these days.

I have never seen a book by a credible expert on armed self defense training (e.g.: Jeff Cooper, Mosaad Ayoob, Rex Applegate) that used a cover with Papyrus.
The “Copyrighted Material” tags aren’t the author’s or publisher’s fault; Amazon puts them on print book covers (though not ebook covers, for no reason I can tell).
Yeah, they put it on the cover preview when you click “Look Inside” (as I verified on my own self-pubbed book), but not on the cover on the actual Amazon page. So something weird happened with this one. I wonder if it’s on the cover template for KDP or something. I went through Createspace, so I don’t know yet.

So, an “Modern Day American Samurai” is armed with a gun? Isn’t that more “Cowboy”?

Modern day American samurai
The title makes it sound like it was written by a anime nerd

Unless she’s carrying a third weapon, there’s not a lot of concealment going on there.

Yeeesss, thanks for that, BL.
I love being told that it’s “copyrighted material” — twice. Also, that woman needs to get her booger hook off the bang switch.

They didn’t put it on mine.
You’re right. It looks like only put it on print covers as part of a “Look Inside” preview, which your books don’t seem to have.

As opposed to e.g. Old West samurai, like the one from the “Red Sun” movie starring Charles Bronson.
Yes, it teaches you how to “conceal” a “katana.” Or at least it tries. Why else is she standing like that?
