Shinchosha History and Perspective: My Miscellany Ryotaro Shiba Published October 10, 1974 There is sun fading near the spine of the cover (the area near the spine on the first and second images is slightly discolored) and two scratches on the back cover (see the third image). The inside is in good condition. I believe this is a valuable first edition. Ryotaro Shiba's 100th Anniversary
