Recenzii
"I'm not a fan of manga, but I am a fan of Evangeline Neo's A Manga Lover's Tokyo Travel Guide, from Tuttle Publishing. It's more than manga. In fact, this newsletter is late to my editor because I couldn't stop reading this illustrated guide from Tuttle Publishing." --Catharine Hamm, Travel Editor LA Times; travel newsletter
"[Neo's] manga-style guide to Tokyo works on two levels: it's a fun book, whether you intend to visit Tokyo or not and it's packed with practical information…The book's fun format makes it an ideal companion for confused visitors seeking to make sense of the city. And even seasoned Japan vets will find plenty to chuckle about." --The Japan Times
"I've been to Tokyo twice before but can't wait to get there a third time with The Manga Lover's Tokyo Travel Guide. So much more to see…" --Lewis Trondheim, author of The Poppies of Iraq
