My latest visit to the book shop resulted in the following wish for Xmas:
"Dictionary of Modern Kanji Usage" (or so)
Kanjis are sorted by grades of frequency (difficulty?) and many
examples of compounds are given. Etymology is only scarcely mentioned.
Unfortunately the price is at 110,- DM (in Germany) :-(...
