searching for a particular book on the C56

[c56]

I wonder whether anyone could help me to obtain a certain book. It is in Japanese (which I can neither read nor speak), but it seems to contain pictures of all the C56 locomotives. All I have is a part-picture of the cover and a picture showing part of the contents. These come from a YouTube Video of a Thai Group specialising in the Thai Railway system. All they could tell me was that they got the book at an auction in Japan.

 

Can anyone tell me where to obtain the book, or is there maybe a member who has one for sale? Thank you!

Thank you for your help. It would be so easy to order it from the Japanese Amazon, but they would not accept my homeaddress in Austria, for what reason ever. I always get the error message that the address cannot be verified, which means I cannot register with them. The Austrian or German amazon site that I normally use does not list the book.

 

I hope I can solve the problem somehow, in particular as I now have an IBAN and the title of the book.

It seems to have worked finally, and they announced I would have the book by the end of March. Fingers crossed!☺️

 

Gave my brother's address, and they accepted it.

 

Thank you once again!

Good workaround! Address verification systems can be touchy at times. I’ve had a few the USPS would not accept on a package, but the actual address mail alway arrived for them, and had to say go ahead and send it anyway. It got there! Infuriating when you can’t override it.
