I chose the Kindle Version which is wonderful on my large iPad Pro. There are not pictures of every creation, but unlike other cookbooks, that is not necessary because the various items all fall under just a few techniques that are clearly delineated with procedural pictures for the process...especially for various fish products. Very detailed.
The intro sections to the actual recipes go into fine detail regarding both ingredients and tools that are made specifically for the task at hand. Descriptions are in-depth and complete.
This book is not only for the first-time enthusiast, but also a great reference for more advanced and professional use as well. Easy to read and understand, this book is simply one of the best on the subject.
For me, it rates a strong FIVE STARS and a hearty recommendation, but if pictures are your decision metric, then this book may not be for you. Nonetheless, if you want to really learn the secrets of making traditional sushi properly, then buy this book! Bon Appetit! I tada kimasu!

Five Year Update (7/13/2021)
It's been over five years since I purchased this excellent book and it continues to be the one I turn to for reference and as a refresher. Such a lovely and useful book! On top of that, my homemade sushi skills have improved to the point that our adult children now prefer to eat my sushi over restaurant sushi (how cool is that?! :-). My original purchase of this book was the Kindle edition. I'm back today for the hardcover version as a thank you to the authors and as a reward to myself for having learned this culinary art. Thank you!
Copious close-up photographs show detailed steps--from many angles--of how to prepare and assemble the sushi (and sashimi). The book is beautiful to look at and the directions are simple to execute.
There's also a chapter on "sushi etiquette" and a wonderful chapter on the sushi pantry (what to have on hand) and the sushi tools necessary (again with many suggestions for substitutes you may already have.) I have several sushi books, but this one is my favorite for its practicality as well as its beauty. Well done!!
