Essential reading in these evil times
Every adult capable of doing so would do well to read this. NOTHING I've read (including Dostoevsky) comes close to clearly and objectively exploring the human psyche to the degree accomplished by Meerloo. Those who find themselves in a life-or-death situation, taken prisoner, or in a lifeboat will benefit from having read this. It's not easy going, but the type of person interested in this level of exploration will not, I think, be satisfied by anything less.

Heart and soul went into this book
Beautiful, well-designed book with photos of a wider variety of netsuke than I had expected. A book filled with heart and soul, like the netsuke it features. Useful index of artists' names in Japanese and English. Frankly, it's a personal choice, but I prefer O'Brien's book to the newer, flashier, yet oddly "tired" one from the LACMA.

A peerless reference on the works of this time period
It is unlikely that any work will supersede this book's scholarship. For example, it's the ONLY book I found that mentioned the fact that the silver content of sycee may be far from accurate, having been arbitrarily marked more often than not.
