Occupied Japan collectibles.,
By LinAnne "Lin22" (Puget Sound) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Occupied Japan Collectibles: Identification & Value Guide (Hardcover)
I collect older (collectible) MADE IN JAPAN and OCCUPIED JAPAN items and therefore I have quite a few books on the subject(s). This book is not complete but quite helpful. Photos are nice. Many different volumes have been written on this subject. Infact, I own many other books on this same subject. When "Occupied Japan" collectibles were issued there were sooooo many different items sold, that it would be impossible to include all of them in just one book. The author tried and did a good job though.
