Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is a vintage (1998) Japanese pictorial -- from the well-regarded Gakken Pacific War Series, Volume 17 featuring the Imperial Japanese Navy I-series Submarines.
This 190-page, 7 x 10 inch softcover with dustjacket offers well-selected, large-format b/w photographs of these mammoth IJN submarines; three multiple-page foldouts (front and back); and a number of close-up photographs of two superb 1/100 scale models of the I-19 and I-180. There are also sections of this invaluable reference work that focus on the I-13 and I-400 ‘super-subs’ and also a section on the aircraft these oversized I-boats carried. Lots and lots of great photographs and detail throughout. Just look at the accompanying scans and it is apparent how very useful this superb pictorial can be. Text is in Japanese but advanced modelers and naval historians will revel in the level of detail!
Condition of this long out-of-print and difficult-to-obtain volume is GOOD+ bordering on VERY GOOD – the dustjacket shows shelf wear and the spine shows just a bit of \'fading\' but otherwise, this publication is TIGHT, BRIGHT and CLEAN.
