I ordered a copy of Dolly Dolly Vol. 16 from Bk1 tonight. I had been interested in the book ever since I knew it had a wealth of MSD sized patterns in it. Bk1 says it will be 1-3 days before it ships, but now right after I ordered it, the site says 7-21 days! I sincerely hope that for me it’s the 1-3 days, and it’s just in a warehouse somewhere. I’ve ordered from Bk1 before though and they’ve never done me wrong, so I will remain hopeful that I will have my book sometime by the end of next week. Anyway if you can read Japanese and have been searching for this book, you can still order it through Bk1 here:

You will need to know enough Japanese to navigate the check-out menu though. Bk1 by far has it the cheapest at only 2000yen, but if you don’t know Japanese you can also order it from BeNippon, but it will be a little more expensive. Here is the link to the BeNippon site:

Happy Shopping!
Can you order in dollars? how much does 2000 yen end up being? I’ve seen back issues on ebay for about $40. Also I wanted to see how much Blythe was from Juniemoon.com directly but it seems it’s only in yen. the conversion thing wouldn’t work. I do have a friend who speaks some Japanese thought. I could get her help
Well the good news is that recently the yen and the dollar have become about even, but markets change fast so it’s a good idea to keep track of the exchange rate before ordering. Anyway roughly 100 yen = 1.00USD….think of the yen as being cents rather than whole dollars. So if the exchange rate is still around in that ballpark a 2000 yen book costs roughly $20, but if you order from Japan there will be a hefty shipping fee. Sometimes the shipping fee is low enough though to make it worthwhile to order from a Japanese site. As for ordering in dollars, well when you order from a japanese site you pay in yen through your credit card. Your credit card calculates the exchange rate and does all the work for you so it’s really no different than buying items in USD.
