(^_^)Gurps books (at least 3/e Gurps books) fall roughly into two categories: Settings & rules supplements. They all try to follow the "world book" model, but some are more "world" than others.GURPS China: I never had it, but a friend of mine raved about it. I plan on getting it before I run a China-inspired campaign no matter what the system. This is one that's more about the world than the rules.GURPS Japan: I like this book. Again, more about the world than the rules. (Martial Arts may serve you better if you were looking for rules.) Maybe not one of the best, but not the worst book for Japanese fluff.GURPS Martial Arts: Mostly a rules supplement. (Though it does cover the "world of martial arts" genre.) I loved it when it came out, but I tend to prefer more abstract combat these days.Although the manuevers mechanic is really just a "subskills" mechanic that could be applied to non-combat skills. But if that was all you were buying it for, you'd probably be better of with the Compendium.GURPS Fantasy: A world instead of a generic "how to do Fantasy with Gurps" book. (Gurps Magic is closer to that.) I'm not a big fan of Yrth, but it can be helpful in building a fantasy world based on real-world history.GURPS Magic Items: Never had it or knew anyone who did. Can't comment.</blockquote>
