Nippon Modern

[Jonathan M. Hall]

Dear KineJapanners,

Libraries are great resources, especially at hardback prices!  I did  
notice that amazon is accepting orders for a paperback version of  
Mitsuyo's book; I could see no mention of the paperback at the Univ.  
of Hawai'i Press site.  I hope we can all support our KineJapan/ 
KinemaClub authors in purchasing and/or reading.
