I posted this to a rather tedious thread, where a lot of people very likely
missed it, and thought it might be worth reposting it as a new thread.

First, some info people might find useful:

Evelyn Leeper keeps a good record of used bookstores (Japanese and foreign)
in Tokyo (http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4824/jp-hama.htm), as well as in
other parts of Japan
(http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4824/jp-misc.htm#index).

Second, a request:

Anyone with any stories to tell about used bookstores in Japan? I'd be
interested to hear of stores (Japanese and foreign and mixed) that people
recommend, or places they'd steer clear of, whether as book-collectors and
bibliophiles or just in search of a good read.
