It sells for about 50 bucks in Japan, if you can find it.

Please let me know if you have a copy you would be willing to sell.

It's in a batch of books on Mercari but I don't know how you order that from outside Japan.

And a more expensive copy on Amazon.jp which should be orderable.

more expensive

25% tariffs plus shipping plus getting hung up at the border makes me avoid ordering from Japan right now. Being a Japanese language book, however, I might not have a choice.

I forgot DT's tariffs.

The last 2 books I've received from Japan had no tariffs and both we're after the de minimis exemption expired. 

 

I've read somewhere else after asking about books and tariffs, "Informational materials are on Annex II exclusion list from the April 2 executive order about the reciprocal duty. So they’re not subject to reciprocal duty. And books don’t have any standard duty anyway."

Thanks, Chandler. I might give them a try.
