Today I’m partnering with Tuttle Publishing to give away one (1) copy of A Geek In Japan by Hector Garcia! This giveaway contest is open to everyone worldwide.
For every fan of manga, anime, J-pop, or Zen, A Geek in Japan is a hip, smart and concise guide to the land that is their source.

I have a few different Japanese books, as I am in the process of learning the language. I love books about the Japanese language and different aspects of the culture and history, as well as manga, and cook books(of course). 🙂
I have “Followed” JOC on Pinterest.
I have “liked” JOC on Facebook
I love reading Manga and absorb the fashion and home decor ideas in Japanese magazines! I also love japanese travel/discovery mags and adore poring over Japanese recipes as long as theres pics and even better, english translations, or at least katakana or hiragana translations to the kanji.
Would like to find books on Vegetarian Dining and Eateries in various places in Japan while traveling or at least a phrase book or book let .., which we can use to ask for non-meat food or help in identifying ingredients and the like. Etiquette while traveling would also be a plus point. And if it has a telling on the Japanese Tea Ceremony – why, how, when and recipes .., all the more great !!!
