Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that, after thirty years of labor, my annotated
translation of the *Nihon shoki* has been published. The work spans 772
pages and includes approximately 1,250 footnotes. The paperback edition is
priced at $40, making it accessible to both students and scholars. A
purchase link is provided below.

An ebook edition is currently in preparation and should be available by
mid- October. Please note that the $15 ebook listing on Amazon is a ghost
and should be disregarded.

Hello! Not sure if this is intended or not, but the e-book is already available on Kobo. (And, as I am looking at it now, apparently on Kindle as well...)

Thank you for the update.

Yes, the ebook version is now available. It is priced at $8.

I am trying to get the other ebook version taken down, as it was not authorized to be distributed.
