As the yen sinks to record lows against the U.S. dollar, more people are heading out to experience the magic of Japan. If you’ve always wanted to visit Japan and hope to discover more about the country before you take the journey over to the land of the rising sun, today’s offering at the Amazon Book Sale is literary travel prep.
As of May 16, Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan, the memoir by Jake Adelstein, is just $12.99 in paperback at Amazon, down from the usual price of $18. That’s a 28% discount or a savings of $5.01.
Not many of us have epic stories to tell about what we were up to at age 19, but that’s when Jake Adelstein moved from America to Japan in search of a journalism career. His memoir follows the highs and lows of his journey that eventually granted him access into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, as the first American ever admitted.
The book is also the inspiration behind the the hit MAX series of the same name, Tokyo Vice. The two-season series stars Ansel Elgort as Jake Adelstein, Ken Watanabe, and Rinko Kikuchi. Both the book and the series dive into a lesser-seen side of Japan that includes extortion, murder, and corruption.
If a first-hand account of life in Japan as a foreign journalist sounds appealing or if you’re a fan of the hit show, today’s deal at Amazon brings the price of the paperback down to just $12.99 — a bargain price if comparing the cost to the total hours of engrossing entertainment it’ll provide.
