Those who are in the Tri-state area or close to it, listen up:
I found out that the Kinokuniya Bookstore in the Mitsuwa Japanese supermarket complex is having a Customer Appreciation sale when I went to the summer festival today. In truth, I think it is because the plaza is undergoing renovation, it is after all nearly 2 decades young and in need of some vitality breathed into the complex, so they had apparently been having a sale since yesterday. I'm sure people have already went through the bookstore and snatched a lot of good stuff, because the All About SNK Illustrations or the Poster artbooks were no longer there when I was there today, but there's still lots of incredible stuff. Kinokuniya is one of the largest bookstore chains in Japan, and it is most likely the largest overseas. It even has a small CD section, as you probably know Japanese CDs are notoriously expensive, but the 50% discount will probably bring it within your purse's reach.
All books, mangas, and magazines, even the Playboys are 50% off (with very few exceptions)
All Stationeries are 50% off (If you need Japanese writing pads or ink or pens or Calligraphy brushes, now is the time to stock up)
All CDs are 50% off (again, with very few exceptions)
And something is 10% off, I forget what it was, may have been the DVDs and videos there.
I believe the sale will end on August 2, it is in progress right now according to the circular I received.
Here is the address of Kinokuniya in Edgewater, NJ:
Mitsuwa Marketplace
595 River Road
Edgewater, NJ 07020
Tel: (201)941-7580
Hours: 10AM - 8 PM
If you are getting there from NYC, you can take the Shuttle Bus located at the Port Authority South Terminal Gate #51, it only costs 2 dollars each way, and the ride takes roughly 30 minutes. The buses come every half an hour, the first bus is 8:15AM and the last Bus leaving from NY is 6:45 PM. The last bus leaving from NJ to return to NYC is 8:15PM, so be sure not to miss your last bus to get back to the city.
