Unknown books on amazon.com

[dasch]

Hi,

could someone told me what's the content of the following books ?





There are a couple of books from this publisher but with no cover and no clear description of their content. Apparently, it has been published a few months ago (May 2010) but I've never heard about it.

Thanks upfront.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

It looks like from the Amazon website that the book contains some stories of Tezuka, while giving a website "key" to view more online. You can try it if you want (and tell us know about it), or you can avoid it and save your money.

What you can do is check out the Japanese CD manga rental site. You pay for a certain amount of viewing time, and even though the manga is in Japanese there's English summaries so you're not completely lost.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Books LLC is a print on demand publisher that basically slaps together public domain content and then binds it as a book. For your $20 you'll probably get a (maybe even nicely) printed version of Osamu Tezuka's Wikipedia site and 47 pages of everyone who's ever contributed to the Wiki.

There's a reason it's vague and hard to understand...

Anyway, welcome to the forums... hopefully that helped.

Also, I'm moving this thread to the "Searching for Tezuka" section.

Hi everyone,

thanks for the fast answers.

As I was suspecting something like this, I won't take the chance to order these ones and save my money for "real" tezuka books .

Anyway, as you all noticed, this was my first post on this forum. I'll also post in the introduction forum a short intro of myself (should have done things in the correct order .

Have a nice day,
