Hiya
I am going back to Japan later this month, if anyone wants a copy of this
book bringing back..
In Japan, the book costs JPY2500, including 5% VAT (=JPY2381 excluding tax).
I am in the UK - I don't know how much it would cost to ship the book to
other countries. It weighs 720g, call it 800g including packing it up, if
that helps...
Current approximate exchange rates : GBP1=JPY187, USD1=JPY110, EUR1=JPY125,
according to www.travelex.co.uk
