A Near Fine Book in a Very Good or Better Dust Jacket, Unclipped ($6.95). Book is lightly rubbed and moderately sunned to extremities.

Iconic dust jacket designed by and featuring Mishima presents beautifully despite some minor blemishes. Extremities are generally bumped, notably to top edge, with some creasing and whitening. Spine panel and jacket flaps show some toning. Hardcover. Octavo. [iv], 5-104pp. From the Personal Collection of Paul Schrader. Schrader directed and co-wrote the screenplay for the film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters. Two of the four chapters in Schrader's film are "Art" and "Action" the two competing and intertwined themes of Sun & Steel.
