I just saw a few excerpts from the guide - in a few short lines it totally revolutionised the way I will approach the game. I am humbled by their wisdom. It's really deep stuff, there's even bits about social revolution and state/private economics! Did you know your ashigaru can buy the farm?! I didn't - no wonder my farming income wasn't so good. Privatisation, bah!

I hope there's a kindle compatible version; like Sun Tzu this work is going to have wider applications. I'll have to get a kindle just for it. :considers how to fund the purchase: I wonder if they'd be interested in licensing my user name?
