 Collecting OJ S&Ps August 26, 2008
I bought this book for OJ S&Ps, but the section on S&Ps is relatively small in comparative to the total book. If one collects anything OJ it will be of interest & value, but the S&Ps in the book are found in many different S&P collector books.

I collect older (collectible) MADE IN JAPAN and OCCUPIED JAPAN items and therefore I have quite a few books on the subject(s). This book is not complete but quite helpful. Photos are nice.
Many different volumes have been written on this subject. Infact, I own many other books on this same subject.
When "Occupied Japan" collectibles were issued there were sooooo many different items sold, that it would be impossible to include all of them in just one book. The author tried and did a good job though.

while the author gives many photographs, she lacks identifying marks for the items and in my opinion, is not correct on her values. however, she explains her process in the beginning.
