Soliloquy of Contentment Shuichi Kato Pages: 239P Size: Approximately 19.5 x 13.0 cm Thickness: Approximately 1.5 cm With slipcase First Printing: September 30, 1972 Second Printing: November 25, 1972 Shinchosha Price: 800 yen (at the time) From my father's bookshelf. This book is over 50 years old. It appears to be a collection of essays on art by Shuichi Kato. Condition: It is likely unread, but there are scattered stains on the spine of the slipcase (see photo 9). There are traces of peeling on the front cover endpaper (see photo 10). Other than that, there do not appear to be any particular scratches or stains, but as it is an old book, there may be oversights. Also, please understand that there may be some shortcomings in the management due to home storage. Please consider the above points before making a purchase. S5
