I have a book call "A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters". I think it's fairly close to Remembering the Kanji. I don't find it all that bad but I have found other ways to learn kanji that are more effective.
On the side note, if you have the book, take a look at kanji 124, on page 35. Check out the example.
They used the 'N' word for the example 黒人.
Hehe
You have to see it to believe it.
