I forgot who recommended this here (perhaps more than one of you) but I want
to thank you. I finally got around to ordering it from Amazon, and reading
it. It's far and away the best buck on sushi I've ever seen. Unlike all the
others, it's all text, with no pictures, and it's extremely informative. I
also like the dry wit of the author.

I just got this book too, fantastic read and some of the stuff was so

As I said, "perhaps more than one of you."
