1.0 out of 5 stars
Full of errors, September 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of Shinto: An Analytical Guide to Principal Teachings (Resources in Asian Philosophy and Religion) (Hardcover)
This book might not seem so overpriced if it had been written and edited well. But be forewarned: it's not. It's full of egregious errors of fact and scholarly convention, not to mention unbelievable typos (check out the *kanji* in the glossary for starters). Before deciding to purchase this book for a library, one should consult reviews in professional journals like *Journal of Japanese Studies*, *Japanese Religons* (from NCC Center), and *Journal of Asian Studies*.

Please resubmit, March 9, 2010

I also noticed the kanji errors and some sloppy scholarship. If this were one of my PhD students I would tell them to resubmit the manuscript.
