Kose, Y. and Iwata, K
A STUDY OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR
Publisher: 1959.
Very Good with no dust jacket Obunsha (?), 1959 (Date of Introduction) Hardcover. VG, no jacket. This is written in Japanese for Japanese speaking people who are trying to study English grammar. FRom the English parts, I can determine it is a thorough study. But I can't be sure that the publisher information above is correct; it is all I could find in English that appears to be a publisher and date. Back cover has a scratch across the middle, and spine and edges are chipped. Otherwise in condition, with decorative blue cover. The name "Obunsha" is embossed into the spine, and front and back covers.
