I've been searching for this book for ages, but could not find it for less
than US$69. I was doing yet another search and found that it's being
printed again! According to amazon.ca, it should be available May, 2004 for
the low low price of $16.78 Canadian. Yay for me! Interestingly, though,
the information is only on amazon.ca but I could find no mention of it on
amazon.com. Hmm...

I've owned a copy of this for many years. Is the old edition
being reprinted or is this a new edition?

That I don't know. I had wondered about that, myself, but there was very
little information given. Does the first edition have 2400 pages? This is
the only additional information on amazon.ca

Not even close to that many. I don't have it handy at the moment,
but mine is a slim paperback volume--perhaps 200-250 pages.

My suspicion is that 2400 is a typo for 240.

Yeah, mine is 240 pages without the index. I think McCawley is deceased,
however. But great news, and thanks, Rona!!

I was thinking 2400 was an awful lot of pages :-). Japan Inside Out doesn't
even come close to that, and it was one heavy book to be lugging around on
short trips much less to restaurants!
