500    Originally published in Spanish: Barcelona : Norma 
       Editorial, 2008, under title Un geek en Japón. 
504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
520    Created specifically for fans of Japanese "cool culture," 
       A Geek in Japan is one of the most iconic, hip, and 
       concise cultural guides available.  Reinvented for the 
       internet age, it is packed with personal essays and 
       hundreds of photographs and presents all the touchstones 
       of traditional and contemporary culture in an entirely new
       way. A Geek in Japan decodes the mysteries of the Japanese
       language, Japanese social values and daily habits, 
       business and technology, the arts, and symbols and 
       practices that are peculiarly Japanese.  This revised and 
       expanded edition contains many new pages of materials on 
       all sorts of topics including Kyoto, Japanese architecture,
       and Japanese video games. It also features a guide to 
       author Hector Garcia's favorite Tokyo hangouts and tips on
       visiting many "secret" places around Japan. Highlighting 
       the originality and creativity of the Japanese, debunking 
       myths, and answering nagging questions such as why the 
       Japanese are so fond of wearing face masks, Garcia has 
       written an irreverent, insightful, and highly informative 
       guide for the growing ranks of Japanophiles around the 
       world.
