Hey David a friend of mine is looking for a copy too.
Do you still have one?

Let's give Donkey and Ben one more day to see if they are still here and then we can move on to your friend, - 24 hours.
If anyone is missed, we can always come back to them. I'll be sure to get one (eventually) for everyone who wants one.

David

ok Deda, If you need let me know.

David

Sent out 2 books. Haven't heard from Donkey or Ben. Looks like they haven't been here for a long time. So no waiting list. No books. Starting over.

For me it's okay, my friend really want it.

Deda, send me a mail at <david at japancatnet.com>

David... I hope you know what a public service rescuing bi-lingual Crime and Punishment editions has been. Any idea how many copies you've sent to a good home over the years?

When I first came to Japan a lot of years ago, I was already a big comics fan but knew nothing about manga. I was very excited reading ABOUT Tezuka Osamu. I subsequently found out that there was ONE book in English, and I promptly went to the English book shop in Kyoto to order it. At first they told me they did not stock or order comics but I was a bit insistent, and 2 weeks later they pulled in a copy for me. Very cool... I thought.

When I went back the next month, to order one or two for friends, I found out it was now out of stock at the publisher. So, I had my eyes out right away for copies. I was going to a lot of used book shops and collectors stores, and soon started a small business, at that time - Manga Search! - geared toward finding lost things. Well, Tezuka was not a big request. Mostly I found myself searching items from Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, BubbleGum Crisis, Gundam and eventually Pokemon. Still I collected copies of C&P, if only to stack them up for the time being.

I think I have found and sent out over 50 copies of the book since then. I like book hunting. Not as active at it as I used to be. I have other distractions. And my business has evolved into something different. But it is always a pleasure to turn up a copy. A lot of copies I found appear to have never been read. Many even have the obi - the little paper band that many new books come with.

So, I always consider Crime and Punishment to be available - just slow in coming.

David

hey Deda, I can't seem to get a hold of you on your interest in a copy.

Really? I did email you just like you said, asking information about method of payment and shipping and cost, did you not receive it?

Hey Deda,

I $40.
The easiest way for to take a payment is by Amazon Gift Card, email type; ( $40. total)

(name; David Wybenga, and my email david@japancatnet.com )

If that doesn't work for you let me know and we can work out something else.

If you are ready, send me your name and mailing address and will ship tomorrow.
Then should take average of 7 days to arrive.

thanks,

40 dollars includes international shipping? Because my friend lives in Italy.
I'll pay for him first and then he will reimburse me.
