That looks like a good book. I was wondering early about what materials exist pushing past the 1,000 Kanji barrier (although I'm not nearly ready for that :S, need to finish Genki II first). You mentioned not enough emphasis on vocabulary too. I find Kanji is a good way of learning extra vocabulary and using it in context allows the words and the kanji to act as crutches for learning each other (especially since I find that learning vocabulary out of context can give a wrong impression about the words true meaning). Maybe I should look into this book in the future. Thanks for the link.
