I can't remember if it was on this forum or a different one, but I seem to recall someone mentioning that Naoko Chino, the author of All About Particles has written another "particles" book which is much more comprehensive/better.  Can someone tell me if How to Tell the Difference between Japanese Particles is said book, and if anyone has any experience with both of them, please post some quick thoughts.

I had some experience with All About Particles. I can only remember one bad thing to say about this book: Too much english. The rest about the book is quite good.

Thanks.  Looking at the table of contents of "How to Tell..." on Google Books, it seems that I would benefit from only about 4 of the 19 chapters.  Seems a bit expensive just for that...

Yeah, the English sucks, but having the romaji is even worse.

I loved them both.  All About Particles is great because it fits in your pocket so you can just pull it out if you are stuck waiting for something. I checked the bigger one out from the library.

I have All About Particles and I love it. But I find that it's little difficult for those who haven't learn much Japanese and one who don't know many words as well. I'm one.
Recently, I find a book of Naoko Chino's its name's How to Tell the Difference between Japanese Particles, I really love to read it, I cannt find it for free reading, but I can get a glance at book.google.com and I find it very interesting. So, IF SOMEONE HAS IT, PLEASE SCAN IT, I PROMISE TO TYPE BY HANDS AND UPLOAD THEM HERE, PLEASE HELP ME!
My email is ppminhphung@gmail.com.
HOPE U SOON!
