"...I use it every single day, and have done for almost a year now. It is the most brilliant reference book ever for learning kanji. I use this in conjunction with a phone app for Android, Obenkyo. I use the app to learn how to write each kanji, and to study them. I consult this book daily to learn the Why of each kanji, and to figure out how to remember them. There is a story to each kanji--and when you know the story it is much easier to remember each kanji. To find a kanji, you look it up by the readings in the back. If you get one book to learn kanji, this is the one you should get." - Goodreads, "...I use it every single day, and have done so for almost a year now.

    It came in perfect condition and it came exactly within the timeframe. It was packaged very well with two layers of bubble wrap. The item was exactly what I ordered. The value was a bit high but considering that I couldn’t find it literally anywhere else it’s fair.
