I'm reviving this thread to publicly thank Masato for checking out a page at Amazon.com's Japanese outlet for me. I needed to know if the book was in English and in stock ("yes," he says) and how to go about ordering it. He read through the page for me, answered my questions, found some English language pages, then (as is his typically efficient style!) went on to find elsewhere the information about the Japanese-language version of the book as well.

Thanks again for such an efficient and kind search for me! This research is for the siblings of the deceased author. They would like copies of his books for themselves, but can't afford the inflated collector's prices.
