This is the most interesting karate text I have. Nowhere have I ever seen a complete analysis of every technique in every Kata of a system such as Okazaki does with the Shotokan Kata.
If you accept the premise that you don't really understand a system unless you can drop somebody with every technique in the system, you have to make sure you know every technique in the system.
In my mind, this is the type of analysis needed of a system by a senior researcher into the study of bunkai. If for the purpose of the template of analysis designed by Okazaki alone, the book is worth the price.
There is a 1997 paperback re-print of this book (apparently?) if you're lucky enough to find a copy of it.
