Where to buy art book. . .

Postby Mangafanatic » Tue Jun 14, 2005 3:11 pm

I am desperate to buying an art book and I was wondering where everyone else buys theirs? What places have you found to provide reliable services? Is shipping outrageously expensive?

Thanks for your help!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I usually buy my artbooks off of eBay - they're a tad cheaper, and most of the sellers I've dealt with are reliable and very helpful. Unfortunately, most of the artbooks also were shipping directly from Japan, so the shipping was over $10. ^^; If you want to dodge the shipping fee bullet, then I'd probably say find a convention or a Japanese bookstore for the cheapest prices.

Depends. If you google the title, you might find a place. But without knowing the title, I can't help much.

If it's an import, I find http://www.cdjapan.co.jp is reliable
