[John Wayne - The Champion of Western Play, Legend of the Live American]

(Japan): [Haga Bookstore]. Near Fine. [1975]. First Edition. Softcover. 4826100337 . [very slight surface- and edge-wear to covers only]. (Cine Album 33) Series Trade PB (B&W and color photographs) Nice, slick-paper album -- essentially a Japanese version of a "Films of" volume (albeit in smaller format) -- with hundreds of photos of the Duke (mostly film stills, but also including some portraits, off-camera shots, etc.). The text is entirely in Japanese except for the English-language film titles (titles only) as they appear in the chronological rundown of his filmography that comprises the bulk of the book. (The English-language title and other publication information was obtained through an Internet search of the ISBN, although the date was obvious enough since the last film covered by the book is Wayne's penultimate screen appearance, ROOSTER COGBURN.) .
