Ginza 3-chome, Matsuya Ginza's annual event, "Ginza Old Book City" was held and went there.

This is the 33rd time.

This time, about 10,000 items were collected by the opening of 16 leading used bookstores.

Each secondhand bookstore has a specialized genre, and it's fun to see the open-air shops as I'm looking for.

There are many Japanese binding books, very valuable literature, materials, and rare books, and it was quite crowded despite the weekday lunchtime (outside temperature 5 degrees on the day).

The customer base was mainly middle-aged men.

I purchased it by Hidetoshi Arakawa, "Edo's Real Story 1.2" (Togensha).

Published in May 1976. It looks interesting

It's the back cover of the book.
