Description

6 contemporary short stories by the best writers present ed in vertical format with translation on facing page and a series of notes that elucidate nuance, grammar, culture. At the back is a Japanese-English dictionary tailor-made to cover all the words included in the stories, and a free audio download containing a complete narration, to un derstand the sound, rhythm and speed of REAL Japanese. Includes the haunting prose of Banana Yoshimoto and the stunning horror of Otsuichi. An unrivalled resource. As with novels published in Japan, the text on each page runs from top to bottom and from right to left.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
