A handy intro to sumo, although I would have liked a chart that depicts the different levels and rankings. The section listing the address and phone numbers of restaurants run by former rikishi seems like a weird inclusion since restaurants open and close all the time, and therefore the info is likely to be out of date.

Most frustrating were all the word errors in this particular ebook edition. Whatever program created this book was really terrible, with approximately 1 error per page. There were particular difficulties with words that had an “r”, for example turning “corner” into “comer”. This doesn't seriously impact the information in the book, everything is easily understandable, but it is jarring.

All in all a useful book.
