Title: Animorphs in other countries
Post by: Pez001 on July 23, 2008, 10:29:04 PM: So, when Myitt and I went to Japan, we made it a point to check several bookstores for Animorphs. The scans of the covers on the Hirac Delest site helped for explaining the title, but we still didn't have any luck. (Although we did find two Japanese Goosebump books *___* )

It really wasn't until we got to Osaka that the idea occurred, and we might've had more luck in Tokyo. Does anyone know the status of Animorphs in other countries? Are they as hard to find elsewhere as they are here in the US?

China's pretty big. If they were ever published in China you may be able to find them, assuming you can read Chinese.

Post by: Liz on July 24, 2008, 10:49:42 PM: I went to the Kinokuniya bookstore in Shinjuku (Tokyo) and looked in the catalog for Animorphs. They only had #1. I asked about it and one of the staff got the book for me.

That bookstore was freaking huge, too, so the fact that they only had one book there might mean that it is harder to find in smaller bookstores/outside Tokyo. It's probably easier to order online.

Post by: Tiana on July 25, 2008, 08:39:24 PM: Well, if the bookstores fail, and public libraries are hard to find, you can check out the campus libraries. There's a gazillion universities in Shanghai and the best ones have really good libraries.
