Some of the stuff I       like will never be printed in my remaining life time in the       USA so I don feel bad about not paying. If I have the money sometimes       I pick up a volume in Japanese by an mangaka I like. Such as       Family Compo which is even re-readable.       >       > I'd like to read more but Kinokuniya charges almost ten dollars per       > volume and I was wondering if any used bookstore in San Francisco       > carries used manga (preferably in Japanese) at more affordable price.                I am sure some place must. But like I say I donīt get about       to the remaining stores, so I cannot give an answer to your question.       I generally end up paying that much or more for my translated mangaa       but the high sales tax in SF brings it up a bit more.              >       > Ken       >       > "sellers" wrote in message news:jgffel$8tp$1@dont-email.me...               snip               Good nite               bliss              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
