Looks the buisness. Pity it's in Japanese, unless you speak Japanese of course. Works out pretty expensive with the postage included.

I got mine direct from www.sasugabooks.com. too. Fast shipping and the price was marked down for customs. Saying that, why not just print off that ebay link? He's pretty much got the entire book up there!

It ws about 45 quid in total (which should have incurred a customs charge)... Have a look at this http://www.sasugabooks.com/product_info ... s_id=12209 It's only $36.

There you go then...
I thought there was a possibility of 17.5 per cent/ 15 per cent vat dependant upon content of book. No actual customs duty.

Books = Knowledge. Educational I guess.
I would ask when you order to mark the content in English, mine was in Japanese and thus my suprise it got through. Maybe some guy up in Coventry customs can read Kanji.

My copy arrived today. Beats the hell out of the other flight jacket books. I just wish I could read Japanese. One gripe, whats going on with page 312, that's not a B-9. I was also disappointed that the book is not hardback.

Mine has the B-9 on page 342 (funny white on black font).
Suit Up is great, but it could be better organised, and it has some gaps. Full Gear is more concise, complete, and logically laid out ... plus it's a hardback.
These two Japanese books are all I use.

Email address at the top of the page. The author Aota Mituhiro speaks perfect English, so no need to translate.
But you might prefer to wait for a better rate on the JPY.

Suit Up.. the bible at best.. its all about the pics and the important charts are
in English so no prob. The author helped all us novices out pretty damn good
when the book came out in the early 90s.. It was 50 bucks even then

here's a link to my review in the "Books & Films" board: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94

Just got mine too! It's frustrating to wonder what is being said in the text, but the pictures alone make the book well worth having IMO. I looked at page 312 Peter and I have an MA-1 featured here! Maybe we have different editions? I agree it would
have been nicer as a hardback, in fact my wife said ' what's that, a catalogue?'. Which it is, of sorts. One of those AL-1 jackets would be nice to have round about now.......... never seen this before.
