So Mandarake is a chain of bookstores, I presume? Thanks, I'll have to write that down.

Brand new, they're quite expensive - usually around 3,000 yen for a single-artist or single-game collection (i.e. all concept art from the same game). My favourite place to get these is Yodobashi Akiba. They specialise in game art books, but have some others too, and Yodobashi Akiba is a great shop for toys, gashapon, collectibles, and so on. Certainly you'll find more specialised shops in the area too, so don't be afraid to explore if you have time.

3,000 yen is about $30, right? And Yodobashi Akiba is another chain?
