The bookmark specifically says “Mark your place in WHY JAPAN WAS STRONG” and includes contemporary promotional reviews from Reader’s Digest, Liberty, Time, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Shanghai Evening Post and Mercury.
One particularly useful dating clue is printed directly on the bookmark: the Shanghai Evening Post and Mercury review is described as having been published in New York in November 12, 1943. The book itself was originally published during the World War II era, making this an interesting piece of vintage publishing and wartime-era ephemera.
Printed on burgundy/maroon paper with black typography. Reverse is blank.
Vintage condition with age-related surface wear, toning and minor edge/corner wear. Overall presents nicely for its age. Please review photos for exact condition.
An unusual collectible for WWII ephemera, Japan and East Asia history, vintage book advertising, John Patric, publishing memorabilia and bookmark collectors.
