New York, New York, U.S.A.: Kodansha International, 1991. 1st Edition. Soft cover. As New/Mass Market Paperback. Unique set! Shuichi Kato's History of Japanese Literature in three volumes was first printed in 1979. The first volume was released in paperback in 1981, and this set has the third printing of that volume. Volumes two and three were never printed in paperback until 1990, the year of the third printing of volume one. These are rare books, and it is hard to find more than one volume being sold together.
