Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
"The Modern Reader's Japanese-English Character Dictionary" is a kanji dictionary published with English speakers in mind. The most comprehensive Japanese character book of its kind for many decades, it has become an essential reference tool for serious students of the Japanese language. Lists over 5,000 carefully selected characters with their 10,000+ current readings and almost 70,000 compounds in current use, all with concise English definitions. Scientifically arranged by a logical extension of the traditional radical system so as to make the finding of a given character almost fool-proof, saving hours of time. Makes provision for quickly finding characters either in their traditional or their modern and often greatly altered forms, thus serving for both pre-war and post-war literature. Includes 14 valuable appendices giving (1) instructions for the most efficient use of the dictionary, (2) discussions of the written language in general and particularly of its recent and far-reaching official modifications, and (3) much helpful information that readers in East Asian fields have heretofore had to search for in many different places. Contains an 'on-kun' index which makes it not only a reader's dictionary but also a writer's dictionary. Hardcover, burgundy cloth, in very good 'as new' condition. Appears unread. Unmarked, clean dust-jacket. Comes in card slipcase as issued. Slipcase right backside slightly bent inward. 8vo size pages (6" x 8")
