<p>Thank you Michael and Johan. It sounds terrific and, for me,
essential. Thank you for enriching the literature. My winter fuel allowance
will just have to be re-prioritised ;>)</p></span><div dir="ltr"><span>Roger</span></div></div><div><br></div>

and I are pleased to announce the publication of <i>The Culture of the Sound Image in Prewar Japan</i>, an anthology on the transition to sound in Japanese cinema. We're fortunate to have some terrific contributions from established and emerging Japanese scholars of the period. It's expensive but I hope the book can find its way into libraries and some personal collections.
I've pasted the table of contents below.
