A Beautiful Reader's Companion

I bought this book while I was reading Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha" and found it quite helpful in pulling together mental pictures while I was reading the novel. "Memoirs" is so rich in detail that having beautiful pictures and historical sidenotes really enhanced my reading experience and helped me get more of a feeling for the environment in which the story takes place. "Life of a Geisha" also makes a fantastic coffee table book and conversation piece, with all it's magnificent photos, facts, and poems!
This is a gorgeous book
