Review by Charles E. Tuttle catalogue

Kanji ABC is a new, systematic strategy for studying and memorizing the 1945 jouyou kanji. Part one of the book introduces the radical elements of the kanji, and part two teaches how these elements are used as building blocks to create other characters. It is perfect for self-study or use with other teaching materials.

Review by Allen Childs (MistaKefka)

A nice way of learning the english definitions of Kanji. Besides that, it's next to worthless. It doesn't have compounds, history, etc. and sometimes just knowing the Kanji that make up all of the Kanji just doesn't cut it in terms of mnemonics. Average, but Henshall's still triumphs IMHO.
