Paul Martin Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 I would suggest that some of you pester Kinokuniya bookstore. They have branches across America. They specialise in books Japanese. Apparently the Singapore Kinokuniya branch is going to have some initially, and it is going to be available in the various airports bookstores in Japan. http://www.kinokuniya.com/us/index.php/fho003 Edit: Doujigiri isn't in it.

Shamsy Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 I hope mine will arrive soon, with the speedy postage option. Really looking forward to it now. Quote
Gilles Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 On Cd Japan the book is no longer available and amazon.jp is not taking my regular amazon account. Can somebody tell me where can I get one copy ? Quote
Michael Kwok Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 I would appreciate knowing this as well. I've called Singapore K and they have confirmed they are not getting this book or no longer have it. Quote
Greg F Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 Paul your a champion mate! I love the book already. I bow to you! Greg Quote
pcfarrar Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 Just keep checking the CD Japan website, they have gone out of stock a few times now so its likely they will get more. Quote
Paul Martin Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Posted September 22, 2015 I would appreciate knowing this as well. I've called Singapore K and they have confirmed they are not getting this book or no longer have it. Whoever, you spoke to doesn't know what they are talking about. It isn't released yet, so they never had it in the first place. Directly from the publisher: 紀伊國屋のシンガポールをはじめとした海外店舗での販売も決まりました。 Quote
Paul Martin Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Book comes out today. Also, I made a mistake, it does have a contents page, just right at the very back! Quote
Clement Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 20 copies available now on http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1829538 Quote
Marius Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks, Clement, I have just ordered mine Quote
Ask Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 Just got home with the book, picked it up at local junkudo book store. Only had a quick glance its beautiful and Paul has done a nice job on the translation, its so nice to see a book like this with english compared to the many only in Japanese. Thanks Paul, its appreciated. 1 Quote
jason_mazzy Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 dear Paul, Please buy 100 and sell them too us. Quote
jason_mazzy Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 And if anyone else would buy me one I would be appreciative Quote
Shamsy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I just got a PayPal order from cdjapan asking for an additional $37 to cover postage (I'd paid in full weeks ago for express shipping). Pretty disappointing, I've had to change the option to 3 week delivery without tracking. Are there any other companies selling copies? 1 Quote
Stephen Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 im sure after a week or so ill put mine up for sale, i opted for fed x express just few yen more 1 Quote
b.hennick Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 They wanted me to pay 1900 yen rather than the prepaid 900 yen. NOT NICE! 1 Quote
Eric Santucci Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I just got the same notice from cdjapan as well - this was very surprising. Typically when a book is preordered the price and shipping are guaranteed. Very disappointing. Edit to add: I cancelled my order with cdjapan just now. I think any company that does something like this is ridiculous. I was able to create a new account on Amazon Japan and ordered two copies of the book for roughly the price that cdjapan was charging with EMS shipping. 1 Quote
Jean Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Same for me, received the mail last night. Must weight a hundred tons. Quote
paulb Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 same for me, dissappointing after paying in full so far in advance Quote
Stephen Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 My total shipping was 2650y, fedx express, its now 4120 FX and 5700y EMS must be doing a production run make up cost Quote
jason_mazzy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I did the price quote for shipping and said thats not too bad so I'll order 2. Then the shipping went up to $100.... so I went back to one book and the shipping was still $50. So I did not order. Quote
Brian Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Used to quote me $23 EMS. Now it is quoting $60. Thanks....but no thanks. Quote
jason_mazzy Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 well I am thinking about ordering several off of amazon. Don't know if its worth it to resale it here for the normal price plus the domestic shipping. I figure if I get 10 and split that shipping amongst all ten then it might be cheaper but might end up being the same to all you guys. Quote
Clement Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Does anyone know in which store this book could be released in France ? I just can't spend more in the shipping than the book itself. Non-sense to me... 1 Quote
