Summary: Good book, maybe a little too basic.
Review: This book is great for people just starting to study Japanese.
If you have been studying at college level for over a year, you may find this book basic. However, it is still good for review.
This book is great for the computer programmers. The author worked at IBM as a programmer, it is designed to suit the programmer mind.
The book does well to show you inflections and accents. It is not romaji exclusively; though I find it has a bit more then I would like to see.
Overall, add this to your collection if you are of a programmer's mindset, and just starting with Japanese.

Review: Very comprehensive and innovative book. Not only explains structure of nihon-go but also ellaborates on the reasons for why aspects of the structure are the way they are. The pitch accents on the romanji are extra-extremely useful. You won't be discontent with this purchase.-Making a copy of the table of contents will make this book more usable.
