A Word of Thanks!

The 20% autumn discount sale of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan was a big success! Thanks to the press release service I started using a few months ago, more people on the Internet were reached than ever before.

This shows that people still are interested in traveling to Japan, especially those who are fans of Japanese science-fiction and fantasy movies. This is despite the current problems of the poor exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen (hovering around 76-77 yen/dollar exchanged). Hopefully, once there's a new president is elected next year and a changeover in control of the U.S. Senate, the exchange rate will improve and more people will find a trip to Japan more appealing.
