Review by Charles Eicher

Intermediate to advanced level. This book contains the texts used in the Macintosh software 'Mikan'. The texts include essays on business and economics from the Nihon Kezai Shimbun, and short stories by Takashi Atoda. The texts are entirely in kanji, with no English translation. Extensive glossaries face each page of text, so it is very easy to look up words without searching. Grammar notes and tests follow each essay.
