I just saw that on my local e-Retailer. It is like RS 1890.

1890/50 =~ $37. Would it be the same thing, you are talking about. That is one volume. I guess there would be 3. But still cheap.

Click this.

Okay, I guess it is 12-15 volumes. Then it is quite a bit. But still manageable.

Yeah that is not bad at all for a per volume price I think. The new one I was thinking of was put out by Folio Society and it is only one volume for over a grand. I wonder how often the book actually gets reprinted.

I guess it depends on things like the quality of the photographs used and binding and all that. Still for someone interested in checking the set out that has to be the way to go for the price.

Do you think that was the standard size for a Sumo wrestler back then? They are much larger now aren't they? I suppose those people could just be pretending to be Sumo's.
