An excellent introduction to Japanese, especially for someone who expects to do some light traveling and wants to try out a few phrases. For more intensive study, I recommend a more detailed and thorough book; I prefer Barron's Japanese Grammar, just based on my own learning style. But for getting some basic phrases and spending 10 bucks, it's a fair deal. The most important thing is that you get started learning one way or another, and this does the job.
