Looking for most common x Japanese words book

I am looking for a physical book that has (preferably in order) ~2000 of the most used Japanese vocabulary. Does anyone have a link to a good one?

I have <em>A Frequency Dictionary of Japanese</em> by Routledge, which contains 5000 words, and is lexemic.  Expensive when ordered new through Amazon; I got lucky and found it used.  You can get it as an ebook too, which some people might prefer.

 

Much cheaper (as in, free) are several lists available on the net, but they might not be lexemic:  https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists#Japanese
