Review by Ken DeLong

both kanji/romaji, furigana where necessary. Tapes available for 16000 yen

This is a very nice text, quite complete for an intro text. It relies a little too much on romanized script (and a somewhat odd romanization as well), but I liked the Mizutani's way of presenting the subject matter. I'd recommend this for beginners.
