	All of the books of the Tsumura Collection Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: Here's the final book collection, with all eight Tsumura books (plus some other Tsumura-related stuff).

	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: And one more random look in Akira Tsumura's "Extraordinary Ukuleles." My hand is normal size, so that gives you an idea how small the book is.
	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: Also from Akira Tsumura's "Extraordinary Ukuleles." It actually discusses the fact that "One Thousand and One Banjos" would be released shortly.
	Extraordinary Ukuleles Linked by RTWhite 10 years ago: Here's a book I only became aware of recently. It's pretty small, but it's neat.
