Summary: Effective and Aesthetic
Comment: It was a real pleasure to receive this huge, beautiful book printed on luscious paper with appealing fonts and even color ink. The people who put this together clearly understand the essential aesthetic value of the Japanese language, something which pedants such as Eleanor Jorden have failed altogether to grasp. Why should the study of Japanese be dry and ugly? Why shouldn't we enjoy using a book while learning from it as well? In general, I have found that the Kodanshi books tend to share this aesthetic approach.

I could spend the rest of my life perusing this fascinating text. Highly recommended.

Summary: What more can I ad...you need this book
Comment: If you know(or have read) anything about Jack Halpern it is obvious why this book now exists. The man speaks several languages (fluently, I might add)and is a prefectionist, hence the ease at which you can make use of this dictionary (Well, it does take some getting used to, but it's worth the effort).

Summary: Perfect.
Comment: Man I mean Perfect. I've never seen anything so well made in the area of Japanese language and I have alot of Japanese books. It does what it claims nothing more nothing less. Learner's dictionary is right. So if your looking for a complete kanji dictionary look elsewhere, but this book already has everything you would ever really need. It has all of the Joyo and Jinmei kanji and has plenty of compounds for each one. If you're looking for characters like Nomi(chisel) you won't find it, but take into consideration that most Japanese natives dont even know those advanced kanji anyways.
