Description:
Wicked. Wild. Wacky. Weird. Witty. Japan's weekly magazines go by a different set of "Ws" The result is a collection of magazines that shock, awe and titillate.
"Tabloid Tokyo 2" picks up from where its predecessor left off by bringing into the English language some of the stories from Japan's weeklies that have teased, tickled and even enlightened.

Topics covered in "Tabloid Tokyo 2" are fads, foods, families, fashions, crime, scandal and - naturally - sex.

"Tabloid Tokyo 2" is written by a group of veteran journalists and comprised of articles first printed in Japanese publications. Geoff and Ryann will appear at the Book Break to talk about "Tabloid Tokyo 2," answer questions and sign books.
