Maybe it really means the end of books? To go with the apparent end of
this newsgroup? Well, you can't say I didn't see it coming.

Anyway, it's actually on the bargain 11th floor of the neighboring
Takashimaya Department Store. I was especially impressed by the range
of non-fiction books in the inventory reduction category, where the
prices were also the best. The other main category is special
purchases from distressed distributors, some of whom seem to have good
reason for distress. I spent about two hours selecting a few books
yesterday, but a clerk told me they have lots more inventory yet to be
displayed. I'll probably make a second visit over the weekend, and I
think it continues until next Monday or Tuesday.

Special appeal for the 'leaders' of this newsgroup: Lots of translated
manga in various languages.

I was going to add another post about the opening of Sicko in Japan,
along with a Japan-relevant query about the number of uninsured people
in Japan, but it obviously isn't worth so much effort. The meta-
topical report of the only actual thread said about two non-spam posts
over the last few days--or was it weeks? Assuming the generous ratio
of 1-10, that implies about 20 readers. Y'all are doing a great job of
building up the readership, eh?

Y'all want some respect, eh? Rather too late for that, but you might
have started a couple of years ago by not being such a bunch of...
bunch of... Well, words just fail me. Inhospitable motherfruckers
seems so poorly balanced, even as a Japlish joke.
