| Notes: |
| 144 pgs., After repeated inquires for "a good Karate book" from foreigners visiting the author in Japan and the requests he received traveling through North America, Masutatsu Oyama wrote ' What is Karate? ' because he could not recommend any book that would help his foreign friends understand the real Karate. This book soon became the foundation of the Karate movement in North America. Profusely illustrated with B/W photographs and 8 full-page color photographs. Red textured paper over boards, yellow cloth spine and gilt lettering make this a very attractive book. Boards are bumped on corners, rubbed on edges and have a stain on front cover, cloth on spine is lightly rubbed near the head and foot, black pictorial DJ is chipped, creased lightly soiled, and has small open and closed tears, musty scent, internally clean |
