Text is Japanese but also some English translations and it has a full very detailed index with credits over several pages at the back.
216 pages softbacked, 1.4 kg
25 x 36 x 2 cm
Condition is very good, it has a laminate cover to protect it. We don't know if it came like this as its the only copy we have seen in 20 years! It as an oversized format softback book and it has some wear, see photos and descriptions below:
The second photo is the back cover
The previous owner has written their name inside on the title page & also written KING on the side of the pages.
Overall this book has some some wear on the outside but inside it is very good.
Some pages have small marks and there is a run of 6 pages (3 pages both sides = 6) with a mark in the corner that fades away, see the last photo a detail of the worst mark.
A page has been removed from inside the cover, we are confident it was a blank page with no content on it. (see photo)
This is a very rare and sought after classic book from 1978.
