Been trying to decide if I should buy the book, If, lets say, I don't plan on going to Japan, is it still worth a pick up?

I like reading about the subject and the act of hunting for the stores, etc. But I don't see myself going to Japan anytime in the foreseeable future.

I thought it was more of a guide for going to tokyo (which is what i mainly wanted it for).. but after sitting on the shitter with it, it's more than that. sorta like a book version of "japanorama" (run a search on youtube) that is focused on the toy cultures
did i mention there's a pic of hiro in there? that alone is worth the price of the book

store guides become dated quickly since people move shops frequently, but i think it will still be worth to pick this up for the info and insight. i plan on going to japan again within the next year.
i wish i would have had this when i went last time, though i had some nice maps courtesy of flynn anyway.
