When I got my copy of #3 it was something like $50US.  Expensive for a 120 page YA book in any language, but oh well what the hell.
:o $50?! I can't believe it!!

I've never really understood the collectors instinct...

Errr ^^' yeah... well... you see... some people like to collect things... like... books... old games... stamps, money... dolls... ^^' You can't explain it...

Surprisingly classy book, by the way.   Hardcover with a ribbon and everything.
Yeah, they're cool ^^ Except that I don't like so much the covers, I prefer the drawings inside...

Including shipping.  Dumb purchase, but it was a fun book.  That line about "ears as big as futon" really cracked me up.

Besides, it makes me probably the only resident of Maine to have ever read the ravings of a suicidal hawk-boy--in Japanese.  That makes me special.

so very, very special.

I've been pretty busy lately but I did take a bit of time to look at the prices.  I tried contacting some of the sellers who are selling used copies but so far, I haven't gotten any responses.  So I have no idea about prices and shipping, etc.

I also scanned the pictures and put them... on RAF I think. Now they must be on Hirac Delest or somewhere...

Thanks Essam ^^

@Hawky: Did you ask in English or in Japanese? Because many Japaneses don't speak English very well, or not at all, and even if they can a little, they're afraid to make mistakes and then don't write/speak it.
What you can do is add them in your basket on Amazon, then do as if you wanted to buy them and pay... and you'll see the price before accepting the payment (but there, you don't pay). And you'll probably see if they can be sent to the US too.
My friend hasn't answered yet. So you still have time to think about it ^^

I went to a translation site and translated my question into Japanese so it would be more easily understood.  So I did ask in Japanese and not English.  I will definitely try the whole "add to cart" thing.  Thanks!

Just emailed you.  :)  I found that translation on some website and I knew it would come in handy one day...

Thanks for her, Liz! Because, really, when I read she took a translation made by Babble Fish or something like that... ^^' Well, they don't really work, and I'm not even sure the Japaneses understood ^^'
PS: It's a problem that the not-occidental letters can't appear >_<
