[KineJapan] Film Art Recollections

[Earl Jackson]

Thank you for letting us know about this - what a valuable series! I also
was shocked this summer when I went to the film section of Kinokuniya. I
kept finding other clerks to ask where the film books were because I was
sure I just wasn't looking in the right place. So awful.
