"The first Kokubyaku Notes were taken in Osaka from 1996 until 1999 and the entire series truly shows the times and condition of that era...A book of this quality shows just how much the publisher and the photographer care about the final product and this book is by far one of the best in my collection especially in terms of finishing, eventhough its a softcover book. Smooth glossy dust cover with thick well printed paper, there is nothing to fault with the book overall finishing and even the binding seems durable."
