Santo Tomas Internment Camp is unusual because it was published with money gathered from internees in the camp, and delivered by subscription.

Santo Tomas Internment Camp is usually only available from camp internees and their families.
From Bruce's list on The best books on World War II: civilian prisoners of the Japanese.
