About this Item

The Japan Times Weekly. Tokyo. 1938. Volume 1 with issues 1-17 bound; with extensive alphabetical index on all printed topics/articles. These are the original weeklies with glossy color covers on each issue. Pages of each magazine have age toned; but are not dry or brittle. Volume 1 issues 1-17 begin with September 1, 1938 through the last issue dated December 22, 1938. Bound in heavy blue boards with strong sewn binding. Book measures approximately 12x9; and 4 pounds. while binding is strong and sound keeping all issues tightly in place; exterior hinges show some cracking. Internal hinges are still tight and sound; just seems exterior paper on hinge has a few cracks; but again, binding is strong, sound and tight; with no loose pages or issues. Endpapers show light soiling. FFEP shows a fold that has since been unfolded. Previous owner's name & phone number on front pastedown; (military Seargent) Laid in is a small handwritten note that says 'Read Vol 1 No 2 Sept 8/38 - He Knows Japan/ They invaded 3 years later.' The article is about Brigadier General Charles Burnett; and his close ties to Japanese Government officials. These weeklies are profusely illustrated with many, many pictures and blurbs; along columns and news stories. All text in English. An interesting snapshot of Japan and its relationship with the world leading up to WWII. The Empire of Japan entered World War II in September 27, 1940, by signing the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, and the Japanese invasion of French Indochina. It wasn't until the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, that the US entered the war; declaring war on Japan. A very interesting collection of news weeklies in English by Japan's largest and oldest newspaper; just prior to WWII. International shipping may require additional postage.
