Usagi Hardcovers

I just looked the all the photos from SDCC 2007, and Stan had a huge thing of Hardcovers at his station. Heck, even the super rare DBC hardcover. I feel like shooting myself for not discovering the Rabbit Ronin sooner when I LIVED in San Diego, because I REALLY want some hardcovers. Can anyone tell me where I can get some hardcovers online? So far the only ones I've seen online were Book 5 and Book 21.

The Lone Goat and Kid hardcover (Book 5) offered through Fantagraphics' web-site is NOT a s/n copy, it is actually a second printing edition. I think this is the only hardcover Usagi book to be reprinted.

Amazon has the upcoming Tomoe's Story (Book 22) for a great pre-publication advance order price of $37.77, well worth checking out. They also still have The Mother of Mountains (Book 21) available for $43.76.

Lee's Comics has a copy of Duel at Kitanoji (Book 17) listed for sale for $50 through Amazon currently (about 5 dollars cheaper than the copy I bought from them).

Thanks. Book 17 is one I've been looking for.

It looks like someone here already grabbed them up

Sorry, Amazon won't let me post a link to a specific search results page.

The link above was just to the seller's store-front page. You just needed to enter Usagi in the store's search box and press enter....

They are still there, or at least four of them....

Yeah, I was slightly computer stupid... They are there.

I did pick up:
Duel at Kitanoji
Glimpses of Death

Wish I could pick up that Space Usagi as well

Nice deal for just under $90.00!

I'm really surprised that the hardcover copy of Usagi Yojimbo: Travels With Jotaro (#149/300) hasn't been snatched up at $75.00 -

As I said before, it is mistakenly listed under Amazon's paperback listing for Travels with Jotaro, but if you click on the price link, it will take you to the new & used listing page where the correct description of the book is listed.

Did you sell your copy at San Diego Stan, or is it still available? Just in case anyone here wants a #1 h/c

I did not bring any Book 1s. All I have left are my file copies. The earliest volume I had at my booth were #2s.

This eBay auction was not the record for an UY HC. A copy of Grasscutter went for well more than $300 a while back.

There was also a Book 5 that went for more than $150. I had copies of that at Comic-con for $125. Mine comes with an additional drawing.
