Thank you for your valuable perspective in the publishing realm.  A book is a good idea for sure.

I'm thinking what's really needed more is a website (similar to FR) where the concerns of Americans living in Japan is the subject matter.

And rather than a published book, a bait piece (a mini-book) with lots of valuable information can draw members into the free forum.

I love the idea that a forum exists that is not a veiled advertisement for somebody's business.  There's plenty of websites that serve that purpose well, but nobody gets to the heart of what Americans really need to know to move or live here.

And the FBU in Tokyo has a limited number of (what appears to be mostly Japanese staff) and so they cannot really serving the full information need.

So maybe this is a worthwhile pursuit for the next 10 years of my life on this Earth.

Your perspective is highly valued, my FRiend.

Could be fun too.
