[tlug] Remembering the Kanji -- off topic?

[sjs@example.com]

Hi all

If this is too far off topic, please redirect me.  It has to do with
learning Kanji and Japanese and not Linux.

I recently picked up a book called "remembering the kanji" by James Helsig
at the recomendation of a friend.

So far the book makes a lot of sense, and seems to work for me.  But I
can't make sense of one field in the tables in the book and can't find
info on it in the book or on line.  I've googled everything I can think of
for a q&a or FAQ for the book without success.  I can't find an email
address for James Helsig (although I wouldn't be surprised if he is on
this list) and can't find an email address for the publisher "Tokyo Japan
Publications."

Some of the tables have numbers in square brackets (eg: [5]) that don't
seem to go either to pages or kanji.  I have a 5th edition of the book and
don't know if something changed or I am just missed something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve S.
