Informative

If you can read any Japanese, this book is a must have for the Saiyuki fan. Summaries of the manga volumes up to reload five, sketches of artwork, gorgeous character profiles which are fully-colored and much more including: A comparrison of the original Journey to the West by Minekura, a Q&A session with the Saiyuki boys, and my personal favorite: a timeline of events with ages and years. Not to mention a dictionary/glossary of everything Saiyuki. A wonderful addition to the Saiyuki fan's collection.
You need to get one...

One of the best guide books I've come upon.
You can tell Minekura really tried to make this reader-friendly and beautiful.
The color pictures are awesome, the information is fun, if not detailed.
Great for Fans!

If you're a fan of the Salty Dog or Backgammon books, then you will enjoy this too. There are some color pictures and some fun character sketches too. If you can read Japanese, then you will enjoy some of the notes that Minekura wrote down.
