Rare book

I may have forgotten to mention that I have recently come into possession of the American 1942 (Harvard University Press) edition of _Kenkyusha's New [hah!] Japanese-English Dictionary_. For all I know, this is the only copy left on Earth, or even anywhere else in the whole Universe!

There is an untitled preface that begins, "The present war has necessitated the publication ..." It is a slightly enlarged photolithographic copy of the 82nd printing, 1939.

It would be totally out of place to offer anything for sale in this newsgroup. Otherwise, I would have been willing to let it go for 1435 Euros OBO plus shipping and handling.
