Japanese Names and How To Read Them by Koop and Inada.  1972.  Hardbound, 7 3/4 x 10", 575 pages in English.  This is a Kanji dictionary that focuses on characters used in personal and geographical names.  I've had a copy since I first started studying with Robert Haynes. He refers to his copy first before any other dictionary. I find this useful because it tells me more than other dictionaries about how the characters were used and how they combine to make names. There is no dust jacket and the covers are in very poor condition. Inside, a very usable reference.
