Searching for Ondori Pattern Book


lakota85usa

Question

I ordered the Ondori book shown below in November from Amazon.jp After them saying for almost 2 months that it is available, I get an email yesterday saying it is no longer available and that my order would be cancelled. :sigh:sigh:sigh I have searched every place I can think of online for this book since Nov to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how I might track this Japanese book down, which is now out of print so that I can buy it? I've tried a couple online bookstores in NYC and a site in Australia that sells foreign books. http://www.sasugabooks.com/ and http://www.lacis.com/catalog/data/b_crochet.html were a couple of them.

 

Oh, yeah, what is the title of the book? I'm clueless as I don't know a word of Japanese. However my foreign language translator on my computer translate it as "The pineapple it knits, - the world of the lace stitch"

 

Here is the elusive book that I have now become obsessed with obtaining.:thair

Any help or guidance will be soooooooo appreciated.

 

Thanks

Did you notice the name of the publisher when translated is "Male Chicken Corporation":lol

 

 

The only place I found it besides AmazonJapan was here . . .

. . . which looks like a Japanese version of ebay. There's 5 days left and no bids yet. 890 Yen is the current price and "overseas dispatch is a possibility".

 

Sorry, that's the best I could do.

Male Chicken Corporation?:rofl Now that is a hoot. Thank you for sending me the URL. I checked it out and see that 890 yen is $7.78 US. Not bad but I know the shipping would be high. I'll do some more reading as I didn't see where the seller ships to the US.

 

Ohhhhhhh to only be able to find it here in the States or even Canada.

 

Thanks.

I think I may have found and ordered a copy. Someone pointed me back to Amazon.jp and lo and behold, there are 6 used copies. They weren't there in November. LOL. Anyway, after much clicking and trying to navigate the site, I think I ordered one and got an email confirmation. It is in Japanese but the subject line reads confirmation. My settings on amazon.jp are set for English but I guess it doesn't apply to emails. LOL.

 

Thanks for the help and keep your fingers crossed that I'll actually get this book.
