4.0 out of 5 stars Occupied Japan collectibles., June 14, 2007

By	Lin "Lin22" (Puget Sound) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars only half of what you need, January 30, 2006

By	Cathy Lea Mcalister (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

while the author gives many photographs, she lacks identifying marks for the items and in my opinion, is not correct on her values. however, she explains her process in the beginning.
