::::::::::::::::::::A complete 200-page book gets closer to the most pertinent details than a three-volume work which does not cover a substantial portion of Japanese history. I did have to shorten the article earlier in order for it to pass good article review, because the previous version was too long according to Wikipedia policies. However, even now we should be avoiding excess details as much as possible, and using high quality overview histories like the ones I have included is a good way to achieve this.
