THIS IS A CDB- A BOOK SCANNED AND RECORDED ON A COMPUTER DISC.************

IN THE LATE 1980s I IMPORTED 25 COPIES OF THIS BOOK FROM JAPAN. THEY SOLD ON FIRST OFFER AND NO WONDER. IT IS THE BEST REFERENCE EVER MADE ON THE SUBJECT OF JAPANESE ARMY HEAVY WEAPONS.

I KEPT 2 COPIES FOR THE ARCHIVE AND WHEN I WENT TO BUY MORE THE PUBLISHER HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.

********************************** THIS BOOK IS SO RARE THAT THE WORLDWIDE LIBRARY REFERENCE LISTS ONLY 3 COPIES IN LIBRARIES; 1) LIBRARY OF CONGRESS , 2) TOKYO CENTRAL LIBRARY AND CHINESE MAIN PUBLIC LIBRARY.

WHEN I POSTED MY EXTRA COPY ON EABY IT SOLD IN EXCESS OF $250. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY THIS BOOK AT ANY PRICE.*************THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL TRANSFER OF THE BOOK TO CD.

I OWN THE COPYRIGHT.
