Oct 31, 2011

Just in, several rare books by these two great Japanese artists. This is the first time any of these books has made an appearance on AkaTako. They were found after long searches and some earnest help from Japanese friends.

I also managed to find a SIGNED first edition copy of Trevor Brown's Forbidden Fruit.
