More on that Japanese Dr. Snoopy book

Friend of the blog Ray gave me a reason that the Japanese edition of Dr. Snoopy’s Advice for Pet Owners I talked about a week back had the odd price of 762 yen: because once a 5% sales tax was tacked on that, it becomes a nice round no-small-change-needed 800 yen.

Well, in this case that information wouldn’t be of much use to the reader; my copy was an eBay find, so there’s no further copies to find at that source. However… you can actually order copies through third-party sellers on Amazon! Oh, and here’s the same book in hardcover!
