I think I'll buy the SS Tenka mook (there should be one, right ?) even though I can't read Jap. Considering how much I'll pay for that game, spending a bit more money for something like that won't hurt.

Not necessarily. We never got mooks for 5 or 5 special. And before someone says, "That was Yuki," don't forget KOF '01 and '02 were Eolith, and we got mooks for those.

I guess that's simply because KoF is a much more popular series.
Anyway, I bet there will be one for SS Tenka, we'll see.

SS Tenka is like the ultimate SS game, it's apparently made by Playmore themselves, and it's one of the few games they're making on the (short-lived ?) AW system... So I assume it's "special" enough to deserve a mook.

IMO, the simplest way for someone living in America to get an Arcadia mook is to order it from any U.S. branch of Kinokuniya bookstores. Just follow that link, pick one off the list (I've used the Los Angeles and San Francisco branches most frequently), and phone them up. Tell them where you're calling from and that you want to place a special order for a book from Japan. Give them the title, ISBN#, and publisher, then give them your name, mailing address, and work out the payment arrangements (they'll probably have you provide them with the credit card you want to charge it to). When the book comes in, they'll charge it and ship it out to you.

Title: enterbrain mook Arcadia Extra Vol. 22 NEO-GEO Battle Coliseum Master Guide
Publisher: enterbrain
ISBN#: 4-7577-2462-4
On Sale: 8/19/2005
Price: 1554 yen (tax included)

Kinokuniya will probably charge about $22.00 for the mook, plus a few bucks for shipping.

That was the first mook the Arcadia Editorial Department wrote, but since it was published by ASCII and not by enterbrain, it's not numbered in sequence with the rest of the Arcadia mooks. Here's the info:

Title: ASCII Mook Garou -Mark of the Wolves- Koushiki Guidebook
Publisher: ASCII
ISBN#:4-7561-3325-8
On Sale: 2/28/2000
Price: 1344 yen (tax included)

Hrm... could be that the Kinokuniya you spoke with wasn't planning to preorder it to have it in stock during the first few weeks of release. I'd suggest calling around to the different Kinokuniya branches to see if any of them have already planned to stock it.

You might also try contacting one of the U.S. branches of Asahiya bookstores.

Don't get your hopes up about the MOTW mook: it is out of stock. Says so on the link provided.

True enough -- still worthwhile calling around to the U.S. branches of Kinokuniya and Asahiya to see if they still have an unsold copy in stock. Even tho' it's no longer available from the publisher, from time to time you'll run across some hidden treasure in one of the American branches.
