One of 450 copies, quarto size, 169 pp. This publication by The Book Club of California comprises a thorough exploration of Japanese books and scrolls, the contents and techniques involved, and their relation to the history and culture of Japan; Colin Franklin (b. 1923), an English antiquarian bookseller and writer specialising in private press and printing, wrote the book with the intent of bringing new viewers to experience Japanese art. The book is lavishly illustrated with colour facsimiles of book pages and scrolls from a wide range of time throughout Japan's history of book design.
