As some of you know, affordable copies of the BeBeautiful English translations of Haru wo Daite Ita have become hard to find. As far as I can tell, the only one readily available for under $20 is volume 4 - there appear to be several used copies on Amazon and eBay.

(Bidding for volume 2 on eBay is currently up to $38. #1 and #3 will each cost you over $40 on Amazon marketplace. #5 is listed as available new & used @ Amazon -- but it's "temporarily" out of stock, and the first genuine reseller is asking for $60. Yeow!)

The good news is that I just got off the phone with Peter @ The Beguiling, a comics store in Toronto. He says he has a few copies of v4 and v5 left at $19.95 CDN/US (before shipping). The online shopping system is wonky (it generated a script error when I tried to check out), but they do take orders and answer inquiries over e-mail and the phone.
