hello guys i'm sorry to make a thread about this but i was wondering if you guys knew a site where i can buy the kof2k1 fighting obsession mook, i already have the 2k2 one... i also found this site but i don't know if it's trustworthy

With the number of counterfeit mooks, art books, etc. I've seen coming out of mainland Asia in the last year-and-a-half, I wouldn't buy a thing from that website. It's impossible to tell whether their books are legit or counterfeit, since you have to be able to examine the printing quality closely (i.e., in person) to tell if it's legit or not. However, the DVDs on that site are definitely bootleg. They claim their CDs are imported from Japan -- I seriously doubt this, though (why would they have fake DVDs but real CDs? makes more sense if both are bootleg). And if the CDs are from Japan, they're hideously overpriced.
If you're looking for a legit edition of the KOF'01 mook, I'd recommend having a branch of Asahiya or Kinokuniya Bookstores special-order it for you.
<a href="http://www.kinokuniya.com/newyork/location.html" target="_blank">This link</a> gives you the address/phone# for Kinokuniya's New York City branch. Click the links on the left side of that page ("New Jersey" or "West Coast Stores") to view other U.S. addresses/phone#s (I'm assuming you're in the U.S.).
