I don’t remember having an issue with the nerdy content, but everything else about that book seemed so wrong in almost an old-fashioned way. Like that the Japanese “think in a different way from us….their minds work on the basis of images.”

I mean, who would write that in this day and age? And why would a respectable publisher like Tuttle release it?

it was really bizarre and awful. honestly I don't know what's up with Tuttle - I was just chatting elsewhere about how the manga they are publishing lately also makes me think "where the heck was the editor?" to the extent that I just won't read them anymore.

and yes maybe I'm extra fussy because I edit manga for a living but come on - Tuttle! They should know what they're doing!
