An extremely accessible book about the history of Tokyo (then Edo, 江戸) during the Tokugawa shogunate with a brief afterward bringing us into the Meiji era and modernity. Highly recommended for any amateur interested in the history of Japan. I can't speak to academics about this book's value bc I'm not one.
