Hey everyone. I've been deathly sick. But that's besides the point.

I just finished reading through volume 1 of Nausicaa and wow, it is way different than the movie.

So I loved it of course and as soon as I finished it I got on the net and tried to get my hands on volume 2.

But get this: on Amazon someone is asking $3,419.60 for a new copy. WHAT? NO! As for a used copy they are in the $50.00 price range and above. That is crazy!

I checked ebay and there were no auctions for a vol 2 and Barnes and Noble just straight up said there are none avaiable. Again used prices were above $50.

Does anyone know why this particular volume is so rare, or where I can find a retail princed volume????

The later volumes seem to be avaiable for normal prices, so what's the deal with volume 2??

Thanks you guys!!!

I'm also having trouble getting an english copy of volume 2 at a reasonable price. I bought a Japanese one for just $2.00, and I've been meaning for a while to see if I can translate it, as a learning exercise. But it's a slow and painful way to read a story...

Whoa. Those prices are crazy. I just bought my copy of Volume 2 last month and it wasn't that much. I had to import it from the UK, though.

If cheaper copies aren't available soon, considering you only have the first volume as of now, you may want to consider this:

All 7 volumes smashed in to 4 volumes for just $80. I've heard the paper quality is better in this release, too, but it is flipped to read left-to-right.

Thanks Zacharykrodel I'll consider the package though the flipped orientation doesn't sit well with me...

What website did you get the UK import from? Is it a good print?

Zacharykrodel Thanks again! I'm going with this one, might be double the price as States retail, but stil much better than everyone is asking for here!! Thanks man!!

How about borrowing it from the library? Here in Finland at least, all the 7 volumes are accesible at the library. I didn't buy of them, just borrowed from the library.
