I am new to the M151 series. Is this book really that rare?

Wow. I've had a copy for at least fifteen years now and never thought it might be worth something more than a good source of reference photos. The text certainly hasn't been much of a help! :lol:

I got one of these books several months ago, I used the Google translate on my phone to translate, it works...but....

One of the issues with translating is the syntax, the other is we have a lot more descriptive words and there are also special technical words that don't translate well.

That being said, it worked much better than my ability to read Japanese. :D

Don't forget, in Kanji a character is a word. Modifying the character will give you another word, like a tree becomes a forest.
