note to self: otaku books are cheaper in expensive-looking japanese bookstores than in shoddy otaku stores ._.
That reminds me when the Harry Potter books are first coming out
Local indie bookstore/Chapters: Lineup at 1am if you didn't preorder, $24.99, have to wrestle your copy from a bunch of people
Costco: in stock that same afternoon, a giant pellet of it just sitting around with hundreds of copies, $22
aww but costco needs membership :/
I know, thought I'd imagine if you can line up at 1am for a book then you can probably find someone with a membership card
