I have here a beautiful copy of the scarce and sought after POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA which contains an 11 page mini-comic by Milton Caniff (creator of Steve Canyon and Terry and the Pirates) titled "HOW TO SPOT A JAP". Published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1942 for the War and Navy Departments. Story is focused on determining the difference between Japanese and Chinese when experienced in the field of battle. Controversial and ridden with stereotypes.

 

75 pages total. Pages are in excellent condition. Only slight wear to cover edges and corners, with a tiny bindery tear at top and bottom of spine. A couple small creases and marks. Overall a beautiful copy, far better than other copies I've seen. This book is CGC-able and other copies have been graded.

 

SOLD!

Ha Ha. So, a government putting their war enemy in a worse light than they put their friends in, is racist.

 

Ha Ha. Who would have thunk it. :)

 

Actually, the fact that the pamphlet states that there are characteristics endemic to a particular race which identifies it as inferior to other races is what makes it "racist."

 

In fact, this pamphlet illustrates racism so clearly that, if I were forced to teach a bunch of 10 year olds about racism, and my life depended upon their results in being able to describe what racism is, I would use this pamphlet to do so, to the absolute exclusion of all other materials.

That’s what I was trying to explain – you did it much better than me! :D
