Book Publishing Company has a very bland and monotonous sounding name, but do not let that deter you from their large selection of books. Many books are health related and cater to a healthier lifestyle and restricted diets(Celiac, vegan, vegetarian, allergy, ethnic vegan/vegetarian/restricted diet, etc.). Having found a vegan Japanese cookbook(Japanese Cooking Contemporary and Traditional, by Miyoko Nishimoto Scinner) published by this company, this was seriously a huge golden needle in an extremely large haystack because I am Japanese and. allergic to all seafood and shellfish. The recipes in this book is true to form in Japanese cooking and even mention meals incorporating natto and explanations for foods that non-Japanese may not be familiar with. Super cool! This publishing company is a really great resource for folks like myself who are allergic or are on a restricted diet, since there are many great(and easy!) cookbooks at a very decent price — none of that fancy-schmancy hardcover b.s. that cost way too much.
