My daughter is facinated with Japanese history and culture. During a recent trip to the local book emporium, she kept bothering me to buy a copy of this book ($25!!!!!!) since it's basically a first-person history of court life in old Japan. After telling her I'd buy it once I got one of the store's ubiquitous 20% coupons, I went home and checked e-bay. Long story short, I got that book for less than half the price of a new copy (and that includes shipping costs!)! Being a used book, it comes with all the romance of "who read this? What did they think? Why did they sell it?", not to mention that wonderful "used book smell." I'm happy, my daughter's happy, and my husband's happy because I didn't spend $25 on one book!
It puts you into life of that era. What life was like a palace.
