Books!

I meant to make this post a while ago, but never got round to it. Also, sorry about any typos, I'm currently nursing a large burn on my left hand, so typing is difficult and painful at best.

But onto this post. I wanted to make a list of all the books about, in, of and related to Japan. So here they are:
