June 05, 2007: This dictionary is very comprehensive. The Japanese words are written in both their kanji/kana as well as the romaji for pronunciation. For the amount of entries it contains, it's very compact. The more complex kanji are a bit difficult to see If your eyesight isn't impressive, perhaps a small magnifying glass is a good idea if you wish to see all the details. If you're mostly interested in the pronunciation/romaji, however, this is a great book.
