Author: Mayumi Inaba - Title: The Morning Without Me - Price: 600 yen - ISBN: 978-4-309-40634-3 Kawade Shobo First edition published in 2001 *This is the cover before the new edition. Me-chan, the author's beloved cat, basking in the sun in the garden. The actual photo is very adorable. There is yellowing due to age, but both the cover and the contents are in good condition, with no folds or wrinkles. Please enlarge the images to view. It was a poignant and wonderful essay that allows you to empathize with the preciousness of having not only a cat, but also a cherished presence, and the sadness of parting... the morning without a loved one.
