Title: Don't waste your money
Product review: This is without a doubt the worst "Secrets of" book in the entire series. An overtly extensive and unnecessary cultural background section comprises the vast majority of this book and it reads so much like a tourist's guide mixed with an undergraduate textbook that I wished I had saved my money and gone to the library instead. For anyone willing to sift through the pages of uselessness to find actual information of how elements of the Mythos manifest in Japan, I'm sorry to say you will be sorely disappointed as there is virtually nothing of value to be found. To be honest this book will be of some use to people whose only knowledge of Japan is that it exists but that will be only in the context I mentioned above. This book is useless and somewhat insulting to anyone with even the smallest knowledge of Japanese culture. A waste of paper. To avoid 100 SAN loss, avoid this book at all costs.
