Japan Cycle Press is a trade publication published in Japan. News about the worldwide bicycle industry is printed (Asia, USA, Europe, etc.). Photographs of bike industry personnel and advertisements are plentiful. The dimensions are 10 3/4 x 16 inches. This particular volume is hard bound and contains issues #1 September 1, 1980 (28-pages) - #18 November 1984 (40-pages). This hard cover bound set of 18 issues was autographed to Howie by the then Editor-Publisher, Mr. Takaya Sakamoto. The Japan Cycle Press is a splendid source of reference material for the bicycle industry. I have found that not all of the reported articles are completely accurate.
