This appears to be a commemorative publication for the 15th anniversary of the Kiryu Machinery and Metal Industry Cooperative. It was found in my deceased father's bookshelf, so I have no knowledge of its background or historical value. I hesitated to simply discard it, so I've decided to list it for sale. - Title: The History of Kiryu Machinery and Metal Industry - Author: Kiryu Machinery and Metal Industry Cooperative - Published: December 8, 1982 - Size: Hardcover Please be aware that there is deterioration due to age.
