Since there seems to be a demand for it, I’ve decided to start taking orders for the Japanese magazines I mention on this site (or any Japanese magazine for that matter). If interested, contact me with what you want, and your postal address, and I’ll let you know how much it’ll cost, and send it as soon as I get a PayPal payment (which you can do by clicking on the PayPal icon in the sidebar). I’ll charge the cover price of the magazine, plus the exact shipping (for example, an issue of ART iT sent to North America or Europe is 960 yen), and a 400 yen on top of that (for my trouble, cost of envelope, and whatever I lose in the exchange and PayPal transfers).
Update: I’ve just realized that PayPal takes a cut of every transfer made to me, so I’m going to have to add 600 yen to the cost of the magazine and shipping to make it work. Also, here’s a link to the Japanese post office page with all the info on shipping costs.
Note: The magazine service has been temporarily suspended.

Domo arigato Mr. Jean Snow Magazine seller roboto. This service is much appreciated.
I hope it gives people the chance to enjoy the magazines I so love to read.
paypal is a total b!tch like that.
Still cheaper than other options.
Yeah, I mean, we’re still lucky to be able to have such a system. I guess this is how they stay alive. But means that I have to charge more for this service for it to be worth the trouble.
Jean,
Would you please tell me the cost ( US? )
to receive a copy of the current Casa
Brutus special on Louis Kahn? I’m on
pages 052-056 giving the Kimbell tour
but it has been very difficult to obtain
copies. I think the Kimbell might be
interested in extra copies as well.
And in case you might know an easy way
to obtain an English translation of the
Kimbell pages, or more, please tell me
what that might cost.
Thank you very much,
Mark Gunderson
Ack! You rock beyond rocking! I visited Japan last summer and purchased a solid dozen magazines while I was there — I’d definitely be interested in subscribing to a handful of them. Thanks, man!
