The BEST place to buy Anime and Japanese art books online is Amazon Japan. There are 4 very good reasons for this; price, reliability, selection and speed –

1) Price – New books sold on Amazon Japan are priced the same as books sold in physical stores in Japan. In fact, they are actually priced lower because no Japanese sales tax are included, unless you are buying it in Japan. This means you get to purchase the books at the lowest price possible, unlike most other online book stores that have to mark up their prices in order to make a profit.

2) Reliability – Because Amazon is such a trusted brand, you can be assured that any purchases your make will be honored and delivered with no hiccups, and that customer service will also be excellent if ( in the very unlikely event ) you run into any issues.

3) Selection – The selection of Japanese books on Amazon Japan is huge as it caters to the entire country; very few online book stores will be able to match the inventory that Amazon Japan carries.

4) Speed – Delivery for Amazon Japan purchases to overseas locations are fulfilled by DHL, which arrives in a lightning fast 3-5 days once the item ships out.

These 4 main reasons are why Amazon Japan is the very best place to buy anime and Japanese art books online.
