Two different versions of ”Instant Japanese”…a small quiz.

ics · September 2010

And now for the quiz… which version was used in YOLT ???

Which version do you have in your collection ?

MANDY1 · September 2010

the right one -{ First edition in 1964.

ics · September 2010

Spot on Teppo… but how many has the first edition ?

MANDY1 · September 2010

I have the 13th printing from 1968, which has the same cover
as the first edition, but instead of red color - it's orange as that left one revised edition.

Btw, your first edition looks to be even better condition than the screen used one in YOLT -{

ics · September 2010

Teppo – have you also noticed the little difference in the sign under the yellow/red… what sign do you have on your version ?

MANDY1 · September 2010

Hey mate, it looks like the symbol is similar as in the cover of first edition.

ics · September 2010

Ohhh yes it is

– I was just wondering how many that has the revised version

A quick look at the film on DVD will tell you whether the five dot or three dot is screen accurate. 8-)

MANDY1 · September 2010

Actually there's six white dots on the original, which was first published in 1964

Jep...

Look at Eds screenshot

MANDY1 · September 2010

Here's mine with some of my training gear :007)

As mentioned before my printing is from 1968, but just noticed that it's also screen accurate as
the logo is red -{

And not only as a Bond memorabilia, it's quite good phrase book also

Don’t worry David I had to buy 3 versions on amazon before getting the right one…damm there were no pic on amazon on these items…but I still love them all and they could all work..it is only because YOLT is special to me as it was the first I saw with my dad

MANDY1 · October 2010

If my memory serves right, first revised edition which has different cover was made in 1970 or something.

ics is there price tag on the first editions (1964) back cover?? -{

Yes!! My memory served right -{

ics · October 2010

The price on revised was 700 yen

toutbrun · October 2010

So the good one is the first edition, 1964, with 6 dots on the cover and a price tag of Y 350?

Editions from 1st (1964) to 13th (1968) are screen accurate with 6 dots on the cover and
as ics stated first revised edition with price tag on 700 yen was made in 1970. -{

it's also possible that 18th printing (1969) is screen accurate, can't confirm that as i haven't seen one :007)
