I have been eyeing craft books from Japan, and through Ebay, they all seem to be rather expensive: $20+ averaging about $32 plus shipping.
Is would this be the normal price over there?
Do you know of any other links for something similiar that would be in english?
Thanks!
I would be sort of interested in what you have to say as well since I like the doujinshi and usually have to pay royally in shipping.
Please tell!
And I would like a Japanese Doper to please host Miles. Our World-Touring Monkey!!

I thought I would also ask a Japanese Doper if they know anything about the purchasing of DHC Products over there is any cheaper than if purchased in US. Their Deep Cleansing Oil is superb, simply su-freaking-perb.
Mucho Gracias.
Sorry, I just got back from the New Year’s holidays our in the countryside with no net access.
Hmm… I found the same title at Amazon Japan for JPY1700 (about US$16)
Here’s the page. It’s all in Japanese, but they have all their ordering information available in English. It may be cheaper and easier to buy a new copy from them and ship it.

(in the upper right of the book description, there’s a link to display in English. It won’t help for this item, but it can lead you to an English help link, with info on ordering).
After looking around a bit, shipping to America looks to be JPY1500 for economy shipping and 3000 for express, about the same as your ebay dealer.
Here are a few other titles about the tebukuro ningyou

Without Net Access?
Sounds like pure hell to me? 
Thanks, Sublight I wasn’t sure if it were cheaper to go via Amazon or what. Six in one and a half dozen in the other.
Thank you very much.
As for DHC, I’m pretty clueless about which cosmetics are which, so I’m afraid I’m not much help for comparison shopping. All I know is that the DHC products my wife buys are sold in 7-11 for somewhere around $10-15.
