This review is from: Business Kanji: Over 1,700 Essential Business Terms in Japanese (Paperback)
Of the many textbooks on business Japanese, this is pedagogically the best for people who already know a good deal of Japanese grammar and know quite a few kanji (say a thousand or so), but need to to develop a vocabulary for reading newspapers, books, magazine articles, etc. related to business.
Unlike the earlier book, "Reading Financial Newspapers" this book introduced kanji in groups of 20 or so per chapter and gives systematic practice reading them before moving on to the next chapter--i.e. it is not in the "random brute force" school of teaching Japanese that is still all too prevalent. The readings get progressively harder grammatically as well and are quite demanding by the end--leaving you quite able to tackle books and professional articles by the end. I review it frequently to "tighten up" my own knowledge and need (and want) to buy a new one because I have used it so much over the last few years. Ideally, it should have a more solid, flexible binding--like a dictionary!
