5.0 out of 5 stars
Publishing at its best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This book is a 'must' for all libraries: at close to A$500, it's unaffordable for the average person. But in terms of quality and sophistication of the art of book-making, there are few books to equal this! Japan is seen here not through rosy glasses, but as it is: the good, the bad, the ugly. The central theses of Hall's excellent 'Cartels of the Mind' doesn't find inclusion here, to be sure, but it does an excellent job of staying modestly objective about a strange and beguiling land and culture. I rate it 10 stars for quality, 5 stars for scholarship!
