Nihon eigaron gensetsu taikei II

[Aaron Gerow]

This is just to announce that the second collection of volumes in the 
Nihon eigaron gensetsu taikei, edited by Makino Mamoru, has just been 
published. The series reprints some of the important a rare monographs 
on film from the prewar era. The first collection was composed mostly 
of volumes from the wartime, the second is mostly late Taisho and early 
Showa. Each volume has an explanatory essay written by film scholar. 
Details can be found on the Yumani Shobo site:

Featured this time are books by Iwasaki Akira, Yanai Yoshio, Tsumura 
Hideo, Kitagawa Fuyuhiko, Hazumi Tsuneo and others. I wrote the 
kaisetsu for the volume containing Ishimaki Yoshio's Katsudo shashin 
keizairon and Negishi Koichi's Kokusan shorei to eiga jigyo.

Individual volumes are quite expensive, so try to get your library to 
acquire it.
