For those of you who don't know him, let me introduce my editor: Kaneko-san. His spirit is always next to me, encouraging me to Write! Write! Write! Just the other day, an excellent caricature of Kaneko-san arrived at our house. He now has an honored place among other important "members" of the Hilke Family. Every time I see him on the bookshelf next to the Western window of our home, I am reminded of how much hard work he and all of the other outstanding members of our team have put into the various books in our series. Welcome to our home, Kaneko-san! I promise to keep writing, writing, writing until this current set of our TOEIC book projects has made it onto the shelves of bookstores around the country. Kaneko-san and I, along with all of the other members of our team, truly hope that our readers can benefit from the forthcoming books in our series.
