I know there was another thread on this but I can't find it.

Not completely sure why this came to me, but here's word directly from the big H-man.


Dear readers,

A few hours ago the University of Hawaii Press informed me that Remembering the Kana and Vol. 1 of Remembering the Kanji will reach their warehouses around the middle of April. I cannot say how long it is before Amazon announces availability, but it should be soon after that.
The prices of the two books are $15 and $32 respectively.
Thank you for your interest and, once again, apologies for the delays.

Please pass along any info anyone might find about availability in Japan. Thanks!

I only just saw the funky new cover for the 5th edition. But still no more info on availability.

does anyone know if rtk3 will go back to book format for the 5th edition?

If you don't mind an electronic copy, you can get the CD of RTK3 directly from Nanzan's website:

It's only 700 yen inlcuding postage, if you are in Japan.

Amazon has it now. Who will be the first to post a review? They wiped out all our old ones. Hurry!

Oh, and you can buy a 4th edition RTK1 for only $200, and RTK3 for $125. Can't pass that up.

Just to make people aware..

RTK was $32 on Amazon a couple of days ago but as I write it's only $21.12. If you're like me and pre-ordered at $32, as long it hasn't shipped, you still have time to cancel the order and then buy it again for the lower price. May as well save $10 if you can

BTW, the ISBN is 0824831659 if you're searching for it from other resellers.
