Why grill your brain memorizing like a coke ladden parakeet 2610 incoherent scribblings when you can simply understand where the easier kanji drawings come from and then add 1 1 to quickly learn harder kanji?
Sure, it's still a titanic feat to memorize all of them, but you'll retain the information a lot easier and you'll even have a lot of fun.
I have actually been to Japan on two occasions and enjoyed spotting different licence plates on the streets and knowing which prefecture they were issued. Yes, this book carries peculiar tidbits of knowledge you would never think of when you visit Japan as a tourist.
One of the handy things that I learned from this book when I visited Japan was to understand how cities divide neighborhoods. Ditch the street name out the door and memorize those ward kanji quickly. They surely came in handy when I traveled by taxi in Kyoto late at night and located my hotel after recognizing the kanji thanks to this booklet.
Does the book cover all of the kanji? No it doesn't. It only covers around the first 200 of them. However if you use it alongside the Heisig books, you could get a useful headstart without feeling overwhelmed. I love to read this book over and over again.
