Japan Research - Secondary Sources

This page is a bibliography of secondary sources in book form which I use in my writing.

On ordering books:
Most of these books are in print, some only from Japanese publishers. A good US store for ordering books from is Cody's Books in Berkeley, I place almost all my orders through them. Most of the titles listed here are from small and academic presses, large online book dealers often charge more for these than small independent bookshops so placing an order through Cody's can be cheaper. For those few titles not available through Cody's if they are published in Japan try one of the Kinokuniya bookshops found in various parts of the world.

I also have separate lists for the specific sources used, including articles and essays not listed here, in The Anime Companion and The Anime Companion 2.

For information about these two books and these supplement pages see The Anime Companion Supplement main page.

NOTE: Items marked with a * are entries with minimal information. I will be adding the more bibliographic information over time. The additions will be weekly so even if slow there will be progress.
