Hi Josh,

In message <d8fcc0800510070803t5b49d15cp65c1ed10affc53d9@example.com> you write:

I think this is still true.

Laox (www.laox.co.jp) The Computer-Kan moved the bookstore from the
grand (1st) floor to the top floow (7th?). But still stays near to the
Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi. However, Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi closed the
bank counter, and left the ATM only, at the Chuou-Dori street
crossing. 

T-Zone Minami was closed and you can only find Donki Houte.

I think Maruzen (www.maruzen.co.jp) at north west (Marunouchi) exit,
or Kinokuniya (www.kinokuniya.co.jp) can sell it to you. However both
internet site says that it's not in the stock but you should order it.
It's "JavaScript: The Definitive GUide. 4th ed." by the search result.

Another good option is Amazon, I think.

Hope this helps,
