A (Tokyo based?) translator by the name of Patrick Macias has released a book on US Otaku for Japanese readers, featuring (at least a few) photos of American cosplayers in the process. There doesn't seem to be a lot of detail on the book available in English, but the guy's blog indicates that it received a "4-star review from the evening edition of Nihon Keizai Shimbun."
Here's a link to his blog: http://www.patrickmacias.blogs.com/
Anyone have a chance to read it yet? It's for sale on Amazon Japan for about 1500 yen: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4778310020
