John Szczepaniak is the only one who's actually taken the time to interview Japanese game developers about stuff that would have never been recorded otherwise for his books, too bad he's a sperg who refused to use actual editors for those books, because the info in them is incredible. Thankfully that Japan Soft book took his raw interview material and actually edited and organized it into a readable form.
