Subject: Re: Japanese Ruby books

I happen to have seen a book on Ruby/GTK I would have been interested in
if it were in English the other day in a bookshop near Roppongi Crossing.
They seemed to have a fair number of other Ruby books as well.  I can
get the exact name and address of the store if you like.

There are also a number of places which carry technical books in
Akihabara, one place I found was 6 floors of technical books - all in
Japanese except for one small corner filled mostly with O'Reilly books.

Off topic, I've seen a lot of systems magazines here in Tokyo for Linux
and the like, but they are all in Japanese.  Not being able to read
Japanese I feel left out.

Does anyone in the Tokyo area know of any good bookstores for English
language technical books and publications?

Thanks,

Mike
