buying manga online, slam dunk english ISBNS

If overstock.com carries a particular book, it's usually at least 10% cheaper than Amazon. I got all of my Here is Greenwood books from there :) And a Miss Manners book. And quite a good selection of Diana Wynne Jones.

You should double check the ISBN numbers to make sure that you order the book that you want. The Slam Dunk books that overstock carries are mostly the spanish editions. I searched on isbn.nu and the links do appear to say that the language is Spanish. So, something to check!

And the overstock.com site search works better than Amazon's. I still don't know how Amazon manages to have such a buggy search. Actually, upon further investigation, the overstock.com search has some bugs too. Still works better than Amazon's.

English Slam Dunk ISBNS:
vol. 1 097250379X
vol. 2 1932454047
vo. 3 1932454101
vol. 4 1932454160
vol. 5 1932454268

It looks like only 5 books have been published in English in the U.S. Bummer!

I wonder if Overstock uses Amazon's db, or both sites' book information is from the same source. They both mispell Inoue Takehiko's name as Takehito.

Powell's Books is a good reference. Their search engine works nicely.
