I have to concur here. I own the book, and while Weisser's tastes are broad
and thorough, he makes some of the most amazing factual mistakes -- he got
Nagai Go and Tezuka Osamu confused, for instance.  It's good as a basic
guide to what's out there, and there are some real treasures in it, but one
wonders where he gets a lot of his facts from.
