In its October 1, 2004, issue, a Library Journal review said of A Public Betrayed that "the authors convincingly show that Japan’s print media are prone to distortion and mistakes." The authors "describe in detail the methods used by the newsweeklies to increase sales, including gossip, rumor and sometimes pornography," the review stated. ----------------------------------------------------------- ☆おまけ1:定価27・95ドルだが、37%引きの17・61ドルで絶賛販売中 (2004年12月9日現在)(笑) ☆おまけ2:米アマゾンに「この本(池田大作ヨイショ本)を買った人は他にこんな本を 買っています」に「池田本」があった(笑)http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0895260468/ Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth & Death: . . .
