I will give it a try, would you happen to know where I could find a list of contracts and dates for the A-2 and G-1 jackets? Thanksya pretty much have to email or write to aota mituhiro [the author]. try: //www.fullgear.net the book was published in 05, and i am unsure if there was ever a 2nd edition published. the text is mostly japanese, and though encyclopedic, there are a few omissions, and inaccuracies. these are very minor considering the book in its all. a must have for this "hobby"....addiction....obsession, etc.
I have no doubt someone will be able to help you.Hello, anyone know where I could pick up a copy of the book Full Gear? Thanks

I have been in contact with Aota , and apprently the printing plates (?) were destroyed after the initial run of books !! why ???a list of both the a-2 and m series, and g series jackets has been compiled by ????? on the vlj. perhaps they will read this thread and post the lists. no idea about contacting aota, someone a lot more computer savy might be able to find him in the land of the red dot.
