So far, so good! January 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have many Kanji & Kana books. Some of them have type so small that I cannot really see the stroke order. Sometimes, the books do not even display stroke orders; and it is frustrating. This book gives a big picture of the characters, with stroke order, tells the meaning of the character, and so on. It is a pretty complete guide. I trust it, so far; and it has really helped me. However, it is not a beginner-friendly guide. I started my Kanji & Kana with "Making out in Japanese" and Rosetta Stone. Those conduits were much more beginner-friendly. This book pretty well assumes that you have the basics down. Overall, if you are really trying to delve into your Kanji, it is an invaluable reference.
 Wonderful! January 1, 2008
Great resource if you are learning your "letters". Stroke guide included. Clear illustrations.
Great book December 28, 2007
This is really useful book - I don't know how could I lived without it.
 Excellent Beginner's Kanji Reference December 23, 2007
I have had this book for 13 years. It is an excellent first kanji book. For mastery of the kanji, use this book first and then go into a detailed kanji book as you gain more confidence.
Excellent first book.
 not useful at all November 25, 2007

This book is essentially a listing of 2000 Kanji with two examples of how
they are used in compounds. There is no kanji lookup system, no discussion
of radicals, and no order to the list. So if you find a kanji that you do not know, there is no way to look it up in this book. My Kanji Learner's Dictionary is much more useful. I'm confused as to why someone would publish a book like this - it is really not useful at all.
