Some FreeBSD users in Japan have wrote, and are writing FreeBSD books
and magazine articles (last year, people in jp.freebsd.org talked
about what we lack, and the conclusion is that it's good books and
localized documentation.  Japanese/Chinese sysinstall, Japanese
Handbook, and Japanese online manual are the results of this
discussion).  This is the list of Japanese books and magazines about
FreeBSD published in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Sep.  1996, "All about FreeBSD" (about 40 pages) in "Software Design"
Sep.? 1996, "FreeBSD Introduction Kit" (book)
Oct.  1996, "Installing FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE" (24 pages includs 13
	    color pages) in "UNIX User" (it's mine)
Dec.  1996  "FreeBSD Power Guide" (book)

and, as far as I know, two magazines are going to publish special
numbers features FreeBSD and three books are going to be published
within a few months.  I'm writing a book about FreeBSD and going to
write an article on a magazine next month.

And I got a good Chinese FreeBSD book "Introduction and Application of
FreeBSD" written by Jian-Da Li (Thanks!) in Taiwan R.O.C..

Perhaps, now what people need is good English book about FreeBSD :-).
