Oxford Picture Dictionary: English/Japanese

Author: Jayme Adelson-Goldstein and Norma Shapiro
Published by: Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $15.25
ISBN: 978-0194740159
Edition: Second edition - July 20, 2008
Format: Large Format Paperback - 320 Pages

MyPLT Review: We love this series, with excellent graphics, and all those kitchen words, etc. that are useful to know. However, beware that this edition has only the Kanji characters without any Romanized representation. Basically, you are expected to be able to read Japanese. So this may be more for the Advanced Student who can already read the Japanese characters.
