Anyone know where I can get a copy of this book in the Korean version? I read that it was pulled off shelves in Korea at the start of the Sunshine Policy (not sure if there's a Korean version or not or if they just yanked the Japanese version) I bet it would be a great collector's item.

I read about the book before,. then I saw it Japan this weekend. Of course I could never read it in Japanese, so I didn't buy it. It looked pretty interesting, thumbing through it. A lot of drawings of his murdering people and sleeping with ladies.

I'll check Amazon, but I don't think there's an English version...yet.

By the way, when I was searching Amazon I came across this book:

Yes, it's by the leader of North Korea and it's his views on Opera.

Somewhat unrelated but there is an interesting article about N Korea in the Observer/Guardian

Did you read the reviews of this on Amazon? Almost as good as I expect the original text to be.
