About This Item
Rutland, VT & Tokyo, Japan: Tuttle, 1964. 1st . Hardcover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. First printing. 159 pp., over 100 photos and drawings, glossary, biblio, index, octavo format in black cloth, dust jacket. Text has neat signature of original owner, dated 1965. Also, a few neat notes in the text to provide further explanation, e.g. "Sensei says." Due to a binding error pp. 34-35 and 38-39 were bound out of order. The publisher has corrected this by tipping in copies of the correct four pages. Text is tight and unworn. Dust jacket has no significant tears, but some minor loss to the spine -ends and a few tiny punctures to the spine, not too obtrusive. Overall a decent copy.
