Publication information:
Preface dated Taish? 8 [1919]
1 volume, unpaged except for a small section at the end listing people whose photographs were not received.
The final page of the book has been heavily damaged and the portion containing the colophon (with the editorial and publication information) is for the most part missing. However, I think we can conclude from what little remains and of the final page and other information that the book was published in Seattle in 1919 by the ???(D?h?sha).
Holdings information
No holdings are reported on OCLC Worldcat or on NACSIS Webcat (a comprehensive union catalog of libraries in Japan). A Google search (in Japanese) produced no results.
It is possible that some library in Japan may have a copy of this book - most likely in special collections - and the catalog record is available only on site (traditional card catalog, book catalog of some kind, or an accession list), or perhaps through a local online catalog which must be specifically accessed. In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility that a copy may be in a library in North America and is simply "uncataloged" or in special collections of some kind with minimal processing information available only on site.
For now, it appears that the copy held by Wing Luke is the only known publically available copy.
