Do the books cost about the same in Seattle, etc., as they do on ebay?

Nope, in the store they were $12 for the big ones and $5.60 for the smaller ones, so it looks like there's about a $10 mark-up on eBay plus the spendy shipping from Japan. I knew there was no way I could go to Seattle and not check out that shop. They had all sorts of lovely things. I bought Duncan the "My Neighbor Totoro" storybook which is just gorgeous.

Thanks for the info! I have two friends who live in Seattle, and wouldn't hesitate to send either of them shopping for me

Do you remember the info on where the shops were located? or what they were called? I'd love to get a couple of these books as well

Thanks,
Tamara

Will do

Though DANG these guys could charge us an extra dollar or so and ship directly from the store and I'm sure there are plenty people here who would bite
