First hardback edition, a well used copy with many neat fountain pen annotations, first and last few leaves are hinge-reinforced with brown paper tape, we have further repaired the front internal hinge with new scrim so the binding will be solid for years to come. The boards are wavy and grubby but no hinge fraying, only minor cornerwear. Ttiling faded on spine. Brown endpapers wrinkled and stained. Text block reasonable and servicable and the annotations actually enhance and give atmosphere to the book as they are very neat and show an excellent grasp of Japanese written characters. This despite that the bulk of the book is intended to be studied in the English phonetic form of the language. 273pp + 4pp adverts. Size: 8vo.

Shipping Terms

Heavy books sent internationally at no extra cost:

Postage prices for worldwide shipping are as shown, mostly the extra postage for heavy books or sets is built into the price, so we will not ask for extra payment unless our actual shipping cost proves to be exceptionally high for a specific location.

Everything sent by Airmail:

All INTERNATIONAL orders are sent by Royal Mail Priority Airmail. If you select the faster shipping option it just means we know you're in a hurry and we will do our best to speed things up. We normally batch our international shipments once per week to give you the cheapest possible access to airmail. Generally airmail takes 5-7 business days, longer for some countries, and this is once we have entered your package into the system, so overall up to 10-15 business days, possibly longer for some destinations.
