Offering a different one now. It was also published in 1958 and the content is the same as the one above, but the chapters regarding the construction of facilities (pages 605 - 863) were not published yet, so this book ends at page 604. This one actually has a dust jacket (albeit a tattered one) and the first did not.
The book gives more than just a glimpse into the company's first two decades of operation from 1937-1957. It offers extensive and great detail about Toyota's beginnings, how the company traversed WWII, the company's culture and people, Toyota vehicles (of course), and far, far more. It is written in Japanese from the very personal viewpoint of Toyota's Managing Director at the time.
All pages are present and there are no rips, tears, creases, or scribbles. If you collect Toyota, have a good Japanese translator app or can read Japanese, and want to gain intimate knowledge of early Toyota, I highly suggest it. $175, or would trade for early tools or other Toyota memorabilia.
