Occupied Japan for Collectors

Ths was the first book we bought about Occupied Japan. We were bran new collectors and found that we learned a great deal from this book. Now that we have been collected for some time we still use this as refernce for pricing items. The only prolbem I find with this book is that evertime I find an item I want to find a price for there is no price indicated in the price guide. Very frustrating. I would still recommend any collector owning this book it gives alot of very good information and anyone can learn alot from this. We do like it and would suggest every MIOJ collector own this book.
