I have ordered books from Amazon before.  I don't remember the
exact amount of time it took to get here, but I don't remember
being disappointed.

Two good stores I think are Maruzen（丸善） and Yaesu（八重洲）
both near Tokyo Station.

Also, the Tower Records in Shibuya has probably the cheapest
English books that I have come across in Tokyo.  The problem is
the selection is not great.  If you are looking for a novel or something
entertaining, Tower is the better place because of the price.  If you are
looking for a technical book or textbook, you had better go to Maruzen
or Yaesu.
