Pretty good,

This review is from: Sketches of Japanese Manners and Customs (Kindle Edition)
This was written by a British Marine Lieutenant who was serving in Japan in 1864. He does a good job describing festivals, weddings, local shops, a funeral, etc. He doesn't speak with any Japanese people to get their opinions of anything, and there's no mention of politics, religion, international relations- it's just a straightforward description of things he sees happening in front of him. It's a short book, and at the end I found myself wishing it would go on longer.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT,
By Leilani (Virginia Beach, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sketches of Japanese Manners and Customs (Paperback)
I ordered a print version of this book because after reviewing it online, I realized that in order to look at the sketches (illustrations), I should be able to see them better in print.
Imagine my horror when the book turned out to have waaaay substandard digitized images at a horrendously low resolution and the colored originals in truly substandard black and white. I consider this purchase a horrible ripoff and those responsible for producing the print version ignorant incompetents. At $14+, a terrible purchase. Gee, can you tell I was disappointed in the product?

The original book had full color sketches and descriptions, that's while it has the word sketches in the title. This version is completely without pictures. I downloaded the Google version and converted it instead.
