I was going to assert that this is one of the books published by VIZ pre-Haikasoru but I see this is a revised text from 2009, one that includes an introduction by Max Allan Collins, an interview with director Kini Fukasaku and an afterword by Koushub Takami.
This is one of those books whose craft I can admire without in any way enjoying the experience of reading it.
