Content aside, I'm fascinated by the typography in this book. It's simultaneously beautiful and horrendous! I don't know enough about Japanese orthography or keming rules to be sure but it looks very much like they took a variable width font with both kanji and latin characters and then hard formatted it into fixed width cells? Either way, it's nice that the code examples aren't in 8pt font like a lot of the books I have...

That's pretty common in Japanese typography that mixes in Latin characters, especially in older fonts. Pretty decent explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/typography/comments/vvfmpu/comment/ifk0f6k/ https://www.reddit.com/r/typography/comments/vvfmpu/comment/...
