NEW! Online Reprint Series for Japanese Cinema

[Sven Koerber-Abe]

Thank You very much for Your efforts ! The site is simply said GREAT !

(Personally myself was happy to see Burch's book there, because we had two 
times bought the book for our Japanese-studies library - and two times it 
disappeared after few days)
