I just discovered that a new Japanese the Written Language book (Part 1 Volume 2) was published in 2018 - it, covers Hiragana and 100 Kanji. Along with the Part 1 Volume 1, which covers the Katakana, it supercedes the "Field Test Edition" Volume 1..
I have searched and searched, and I cannot find any information about it - aside from the brief blurb on the Yale Press site. No reviews, no announcements, no previews/sample pages - nothing.
So I'm asking - has anyone here seen it? How does it compare to the Field Test Edition? And how does it compare to "Reading Japanese"?
Judging from the page count, about 280 pages in the Textbook, and another 200 pages in the Workbook, it appears that it has a lot more information than the Field Test Edition, which has 256 pages and includes Katakana..
If anyone has any information about this at all, please post it - I can't be the only person who is a bit excited about its existence!
