Guys, I had a look at the Japanese bookstore over the weekend and saw this excellent book.
http://bookclub.japantimes.co.jp/act/en/Detail.do?id=1295

I bought the Intermediate edition some years ago but it seems the Advanced edition was finally released this year. It's very expensive but it's totally worth it. I compared the book to Dimitri_can's recommended grammar book for JLPT4 to 1 but the English explanations in this one are much more detailed. It compares and contrasts different example sentences and tells you when and why each grammar form should/should not be used.

I'm really tempted to buy the book myself since I'm in still Japan and my school can help me to get a marginal discount but it's just so expensive :( Maybe I should treat it as a Christmas present for myself.... どうしよう??!

terrajさん、私も買いたいですが。。。でも、見てから、ちょっと悪い本だと思っています。。。なんで?

全部の説明は英語で。。。私たちは日本語学習者として、日本語で勉強するべきでしょうか。。=)

もし、買いたい場合、私は貸してもいい? =p

ほかの本があると思います。戻ってから、あってもいい?

Hello. I have bought the basic version about 2 years ago. Planning to get the intermediate version end of this month.

Btw, for intermediate version, it is suitable for which level? JLPT 3 or 2?

Hahaha Dimitri, you're a stick in the mud :D I'm a lazy learner.

Anyways, I'm just looking at the prices of the new electronic dictionaries in Japan. My old Canon wordtank doesn't have a stylus which makes me so lazy to use it. I wish I bought from Amazon earlier. They're so cheap if you get from Amazon. Now it's probably too late to order since I'm flying back this week :(

これが欲しい
http://www.amazon.co.jp/Ex-word-XD-...GICC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1229954987&sr=8-2

I thought I should be able to get them for the same prices in physical stores since there is no discount indicated on Amazon but apparently not!! The online websites of physical stores are selling them for about 3000-5000 yen more!! I'll just have to check them out tomorrow. Tomorrow is the Emperor's birthday so it's a public holiday thus no school.
