Unpaginated. [4] leaves of text followed by [36] leaves of halftone photographs, all printed in rectos only. (4to) 26x18.4 cm (10¼x7¼"), original gilt-lettered cloth with pictorial in white, yapp edges, slipcase.  First Edition in English.

Scarce pictorial look at Shanghai in the early 1930's, through Japanese eyes. There was a Japanese language edition issued the preceding year. The title page has no publication information, so it is likely it was the front wrapper, and this is a special issue bound in cloth with the wrappers included; publication information is on the inside of what would be the rear wrapper. OCLC/WorldCat lists only four institutions that hold copies, the University of California Berkeley, the University of Michigan, the Washington & Lee University, and the National Diet Library (the latter with two listings, but possibly duplicates); there are two institutions holding the Japanese language edition. .
