We received this book as a gift and love it. It is smallenough to take along with us and it has alot of pieces that are not inany of the other books we do have. The most fantastic thing about itis the updated prices. In some pieces we own they have increased in price by ( ) from the older books we own. I would highly recommend this book to any collecter of MIOJ and wish we had more updted books we really need them. This is a winner. END

This book is good it has a wide variety of items made in occupied Japan shown. The pictures are in color and very well done and I found them to be the best part of the book. This book has very little history and does not tell much about the different marks or why there are so many different marks used on the occupied Japan items. This book does state that if items arrived in this country with no mark, a rubber stamp was used to add the mark. The book also states that a few unmarked items did slip through but these items have less value without an Occupied Japan Mark. This book shows the prices on the same page as the item and states "The purpose of this book is not to set firm prices but to serve as a guide."
