Hi,
Does anyone know a good place for second-hand English books in Osaka? |

Or, if you have any books you would be willing to exchange you could try this site:
http://bookswapjapan.forumotion.com/
Not that many books on it yet, but the more people join the bigger the selection will become. |

mmmmm, I might try that net thing, but I'd kinda like to keep my books! 
In a city of 10 million people (Osaka), there's really not one second-hand English book outlet? |

| There's a Book Off with a small selection of English books on the 3rd or 4th floor but, sorry, I can't remember where exactly. Somewhere very central, but in a city like Osaka I don't suppose that is much help. I think there is a Random Walk with a good selection of books in English, but not sure if any of them are second hand. |

| The best time is to buy new books during the Kinokuniya Book Sales. They happen about 4 times a year. |
