Need help finding a book

Post by me_in_japan » Tue May 14, 2013 4:33 am

Howdy all :)

The other day I got a PM on my CMoN account from a chap who is a frequent poster there (and who seems to be a more than reasonable guy) asking for my help. He's trying to track down a particular art book of Macross stuff, and since I'm in Japan he figured it'd be worth a shotty asking me. Clearly, here is a man who has never been to the cultural black hole that is Tsu, where we don't have bookshops (at least, not anywhere near me, anyway.)

So, I was wandering if any of you folks in the big city would be able to keep an eye out for the book in the link below. Also, if you get the chance, if you could pass the word on to any Japanese gamers you know, that'd be dead helpful, too. Tbh, I'm kinda curious if our little grapevine here can turn up something useful. Here's hoping :)

sorry to bother you, but I write because you might be able to help me as you are in japan.

There is a book I have been looking for for a long time. Now it is on ebay, but a 'bit' pricey:

I'd like to ask you if you could help me by looking around if there is this book available in a local booksshop or something similar for cheaper.

Wowser that is an expensive book. It's probably a limited edition or long out of print for that price. (Or the seller is just really savy).
I'll keep my eyes peeled, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Macross 7 Dynamite is a really old series maybe 10 years old?
(wikipedia check - 1997 so even older than I thought)

Cultural black hole? Oh I don't know, I saw a stag beetle exhibition was being held over golden week. :lol:
