Son Goku Densetsu book question

Post by SonGokuGT » Wed Apr 19, 2006 8:57 pm

Hey all,

I was just wondering if this book was still in print and where would be a good place to order it?

Yeah, as far as I know. You can find it on Amazon Japan. That's where I bought mine like a little more than a month ago.

Good to know!

Mike [EX], if you're reading this, I really think we need a feature or sticky or something explaining the best way to go about ordering from Amazon Japan.

While it isn't -exactly- Amazon [Sasuga Books], you can find the item in question here: http://www.sasugabooks.com/product_info ... s_id=26733

Further, forum member B-Kun has had several successful orders from the company, and they provide good quality products, so hopefully this will be just as good until someone provides an Amazon link. [Although I hope I've got the right book, too. Lol.]

By the by, the Sasuga site is in English, so it'll be easier to place an order and stuff, without having to get used to the Japanese everywhere.

Good luck.

Thanks a ton, Lost in Thought! You nailed it, that's the one! I'll go with Sasuga Books, now that you mentioned it, I've heard about them before. Can't believe I forgot about that! :oops:

I'm still pushing for the Amazon Japan guide! I think it'd be helpful for everyone!

I've done a bit of delving back into my troves of old, old bookmarks, and came across one from a great site [between the help of the site, and sage words of DaizEX member, and Kanzentai.com's own DBW back in last years DragonBox thread, I confidently placed an order] found here:

Hopefully this helps, if not, I'll try to answer any questions you have.

Wow, That is pretty handy! Thanks a lot! Knowing Katakana only wouldn't have gotten me very far.

That site instructs you to use the Japanese buttons. Instead, wherever possible, I click on "display in English." This way all the important parts of the site, like the ordering buttons for instance, work in English. The only problem is searching--most of our keyboards do not have Japanese characters. Fortunately for Dragon Ball fans, most Dragon ball releases, the boxes included, have the english characters Dragon Ball in their title, so you can just type that into the search box and you'll probably get what you want. Sorry for lazy punctuation, I'm tired today.

There isn't enough English on the site to worry about anything further than the account language settings, however. So getting used to it as-is is still essential for confidently placing orders.

What I end up doing is just a random search for DBZ, find some other DBZ product that's written out in the katakana, and then just copy-and-paste it into the search box, and search by category/type from there.
