I bought this for $1 today
 

So I was browsing around one of the Book Off's in my town and I came across this wonderful little ayu book for 105 yen:

I was so surprised when I found this. And not to mention it's in pretty good condition for being like 10 years old! I wiped off the surface dirt that was on the outside of the plastic and the book's cover, which wasn't much. It was mostly on the spine of the book, but it all came off in a few swipes of a damp cloth.

The style book's glue is pretty much gone so those are rather loose. But they just look like post cards now, so it's not like they were ripped or anything. (unless they're supposed to come out??)

And the fact that this was about $1 USD is amazing to me.

I'm sure most people have seen these images before, but I don't know, I thought it was cool. haha.:innocent

The left side of the second to last photo doesn't look like Ayu really, lol...
Neat find! =D

wow.i've been searching for this book high and low and you bought it for only USD1???!!!

You bought it from where? I want it too :cry :cry Please tell me.... I want it so badly.

^ i got it at a store called Book Off in Japan, haha. there was only one :P

oh god, you're so lucky!! just $1 for that?! that's crazy :laugh
congratulations <33

Wow nice buy, especially a Ayu's collection for $1.

Thanks for sharing.

wow that is an awesome find!!

lol yeah book-off is amazing, I can go there and swipe up so much ayu stuff at the craziest prices! :D

ayu, in a black afro, looks so weird. so this is just basically a fashion photoshoot book? Never heard of it. what does 2021 mean? all over her stuff from around her first 3 albums, I always see these random numbers along the sides or something.

there's also a Book-Off in Paris... i want to go there so bad T___T

$1?!?!?!?
so lucky!!!
that thing is so precious...

Gosh I wish there was a Book-Off here where I live xD I'd buy out the place.

wow that's awesome!! What a good find!!
I've always wanted to go to a book-off. the only one in Canada is out west :( they need to put one in Toronto :P

I never saw that book before, nice that you got it for a low price.

Oh my gosh... $1?! That is so amazingly lucky, seeing as most of the Ayu stuff I buy costs like...$100 total cuz of shipping and stuff XD

That's a great find!

Great finding ^^

Bookoff is really heaven for j-music fans. When I was in a Bookoff in Shibuya I could have bought at least 20 Ayu singles in a very good condition for 105 yen for each one. And in a Bookoff in Yokohama I purchased the Complete Live Box with 4 DVDs in great condition for just 6950 yen <3

Wow, how lucky!
I got that book in 2004 for about $20, and I thought I had the good bargain!!
Enjoy ^_^

I thought that first picture was a squid...

D: omg you're soo lucky.
Great find!

Ooh, be proud of your purchase! :D That's a nifty book and it's amazing that you only spent one dollar on it! Haha congrats!!

Man I love BookOff! You can get most older Ayu stuff real cheap there. I found A Museum there near new for 10 bucks.

You got very lucky, congrats on the find!

A friend of mine also has that book, there are awesome photshoots there. Of the best she has at around that era, imo.

I don't know where she got if from, but she has never been to Japan haha

OMG you're so lucky! :O

I love book-off, you can buy like a whole suitcase worth of stuff with just 100 dollars

Book Off in japan is AMAZIINNNGG!

I bought a lot of Ayu stuff there for super cheap when I was in Tokyo n___n

Congrats on the good find!

Awesome find. I wish there were a Book off near me. I would totally own everything Ayu ever put out. Well, anything I could find there anyhow. :)
I've always loved the pictures that are inside that book, too. :D

Ouch, for $1? That's a seriously nice find :)
This is by far one of my favourite books :) I, however wasn't as fortunate as you to buy it for $1 :P

You're so lucky to find such a rare book!!!

Enjoy it!!!::D

Lucky you and congrats on getting this book!

I didn't used to like the pictures but they grew on me over the years...I really like the older shoots like this and A LIFE than some of her new stuff xDD Ayu with the moustache always made me laugh though xD

There's a Book Off interstate that I'll go to someday...maybe I'll be lucky too and get some Ayu goods! Pity I won't get any time off til about Oct/Nov this year and the plane trip is $300 one way >P
