Some were published nearly 75 years ago, and because they are published with the old kana and kanji, they are all the more valuable and full of flavor. The condition of the books varies. Please refer to the attached photos for details. They will be protected with a PP bag and cushioning material and shipped anonymously. In addition to these books, I also have CDs, books by Haruki Murakami, mainly novels and first editions, as well as tableware and women's wear, so please take a look if you're interested.
