Understanding Japanese Information Processing (with convenient "lay-flat" binding) is a nerd's-eye view of the problems of cracking the Japanese software market - in particular, the process of making Japanese-language software. While there's more technical detail than the average WIRED reader will want to wallow in, it's worth taking a look because it shows just how complicated it is to get a computer to work in Japanese - a language with four different sets of characters (one Western, two Japanese, and one Chinese) containing over 10,000 symbols. And despite all the brouhaha about penetrating Japanese markets, no such book seems to have been written before.

Understanding Japanese Information Processing, by Ken Lunde, US$29.95. O'Reilly & Associates: (800) 998 9938, +1 (707) 829 0515.
