This is an outstanding book, especially for people such as myself who are unable to study Japanese translation at university due to time and financial constraints, but who would like to undertake an exam to become a registered translator through such bodies as NAATI in Australia.
The book is especially useful because as it covers each issue or dilemma in translation studies, it gives specific examples and exercises related to Japanese translation. There are exercises to do after each major point, and I recommend doing these and actually writing the answers in an exercise book to maximise the benefit, which of course requires some measure of self-discipline. I have the hard copy edition and all the exercises are clearly numbered and their answers included in an appendix at the back.
Overall, this is a very well-structured and comprehensive book which I'm happy to give the highest recommendation possible.
