What's so great about the MFK books?

[lujor]

These MFK books seem to be very popular. I've never seen one, but I'm curious. What's the attraction? Are they in English? Are they essentially just picture books? Do they contain any worthwhile info? Are they must have items for my library?

I asked the same questions a few weeks ago - they seem to be just picture books in Japanese. Meaning just photos, and no useable information to those of us who don't read Japanese.

I would jump on them except for two things: Price, and the lack of readability. Photos can be found online...

Just my 2 cents. Maybe this will encourage an English version?

Well let's put it this way. It's in Japanese and you only get to enjoy the pics So imagine it as like your buying a porn magazine. You dont read anything in it and you just look at pictures. NICE PICTURES

That is why the books are not sold here because they are in Japanese. They are imported in small number for those that want and appreciate the books for what they are despite having the language setback and the hefty price tag.

In the end it comes down to, if you dont like it then don't buy it. I have all 7 volumes and I personally think they are all worth it.

U mean u read the "specs".

The specs in teh MFK books are printed in regular numbers so you can understand that.

The books contain "Best Of Show" grade specimen pics. Once the new term begins, I'll hire a japanese-speaking student to translate the books for me. I did the same thing with a chinese aro book. Paid a student $25 to translate all the text (ads excluded) for me.
