Hopefully, they are already back in print. I just put in an order, and I hope to have copies of all the books at San Diego.

I just bought 6-8 off of amazon, only according to amazon trade 8 is not available new and I had to buy it used.

Book 1 of mine is also one I had to buy used. I plan on buying books 1 and 8 new once I see them.

My FLCS only just got volumes 8 and 9 in from Diamond so far.
He's ordered them all for the shelf since interest in Usagi has spiked in his store. However, still no volume 18 (the one I missed).

Yeah, that's right. I have generated interest in Usagi at my local store by going on about it and brinigng in my Usagi stuff to show people. He went from ordering one copy (for me) to ordering 5 for customers and 1 for the shelf. Not bad I think.

I suggest eBay. I got a few trades on there brand new.

Also try www.tfaw.com:

I recently filled two holes in my TPB collection at Heritage Source. I found them through the buy UY page of this website ( http://usagiyojimbo.com/buy.html ) there are several it would be worth trying on there.

I will be doing a book signing with Heritage Source in mid-July, before the SD Con. If you place an order with Carolyn before then, you can get a signed book(s) at cover price (plus postage). I have worked with HS for years, and many Dojo members have dealt with them. I have only heard positive comments. They do ship worldwide.

My first post! :D

I am relatively new to UY and have been scouring the net collecting the TPB's!

Amazon have been good for some as have ebay but my best source for those last few hard to find ones (9, 11 & 18!) has been Abe Books;

http://www.abebooks.com/

Give them a try they had them all on there from various suppliers last time I looked.
I don't live in hope but a little village near there.

Welcome Kez!
My last two were 8 and 18. My lcs all of a sudden has a bunch so let me know anyone who's looking I think there are 2 copies of 8.

BTW Abe books, one of the largest online used book dealers in existence, we recently found out is based here in sleepy little Victoria

Just this week I broke down and ordered the rest of the Usagi trades I needed. I had to order from 3 different sites to get what I needed, having trouble finding some, but in the end I got them. I ordered from Barnes and Noble.com, midtowncomics.com and from amazon.com.

Once I finish reading all of these, and of course order book 21 when it comes out, I can then begin my hunt for Space Usagi, which I am really excited to read.

My credit card bill will be high this month, but I got some great reading ahead of me now!
