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...
