conqueror 729,287 Posted November 15, 2016 there are tons: t-site and cow books are probably the most 'famous' in sufu-esque circles, the former being particularly incredible. blue parrot in takadanobaba used to stock tons of used english stuff (i bought an old camus paperback for like 500 yen or something), but apparently closed in the last year or two. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CASSAVA PIECE 459,671 Posted November 15, 2016 there's a 345 page thread isn't this exactly why nobody wants to look through it though, especially since search doesn't really work properly 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
