"Canon of Judo" to be rereleased

[pknox]

Evidently, based on what I've seen on Amazon, Mifune's "Canon of Judo" is about to be republished by Kodansha. As this is not only an important book, but also a pretty rare and expensive one, this reprint will definitely put it in more people's hands. Amazon has this new edition listed as going for $24.50, a far cry from the $300 I've seen the original go for on E-bay (and that's not even for the first edition.)

Here's a link to info for the book on Amazon:

Finally!!!!!!!! Let's hope they don't do anything stupid like reshoot the pics.

Thansk so much for posting this.

Supposedly it's the original pics, and a re-translation based on the 1960 edition. Here's an e-budo thread that goes into a little more detail (the relevant posts are near the end):
