Remembering the Kanji, Vol. 1: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese ...
James W. Heisig
University of Hawaii Press, 2007
The negative reviews just don't get it. Buy this book.
People reviewing this book negatively obviously didn't read the author's introduction very well. This book does NOT claim to be some magical cure that will give you instant Kanji fluency. It's purpose is to give you an incredibly effective way to IDENTIFY nearly all ...

Michael Rowley
Stone Bridge Press, 1995
Believe the hype- it's really a great little book.
When I saw reviews for this book, I was worried that too many of the reviews sounded canned, but I thought for $6, there wasn't much to lose. After getting the book, I think all the enthusiasm might just be genuine. Please note- this is a *very* little book, as in ...

Jimi's Book of Japanese: A Motivating Method to Learn Japanese (Hiragana)
Peter X. Takahashi
Takahashi & Black, 2002
Great Idea
Wonderful idea! You can pick a page or 2 a day and in no time you are learning Hiragana. Each page is short, graphic and catches your attention. It is also small and thin enough to slide into your backpack so you can get a mini lesson in anytime you want. I think it's ...

Marlene Goodman
McGraw-Hill, 2003
Love the layout of this book!
I have never seen a "dictionary" laid out this way, but I love it! Every time you turn a page you get a two page spread of a scene from daily life: school, work, home, neighborhood, etc. - kind of "Where's Waldo" style. Within the picture almost everything is labelled ...
