I am from the UK, heres some ideas you might want
to consider:
(1) Getting them from someone like Drac, &
getting it posted surface mail. Surface mail for
a cel book is not much... i think about $4. It
may take a while to get to you but that's the
tradeoff for surface mail i guess. But many
times i have actually received surface mail in
less than 7 days!!
(2) If you know someone going to Japan on
holiday, then it goes without saying you MUST
give them a shopping list (lol). Ask them to go
into a 100yen shop & get you some B3 pocket
files. I have plenty from when i went to Japan,
they don't get much cheaper than this!
However they are not professional cel books so
you may not like this idea.. or any of my ideas
since i am a cheapskate.. lol
Some Japanese sellers on ebay sell them.
Or u can obtain B3 pocket files from some good
stationary shops... i managed to find some in the
UK after some searching. B3 is bigger than
standard cel size but i find them better than
11x14 books as it is easy to get them in & out or
if they have a bigger background. Great for many
oversized cels. If you have some really
oversized cels then you might consider getting an
A3 sized one, those are probably more common.
Again these are not professional cel books.
(3) Try www.AnimeAssylum.com (i think that is the
url). They have proper sized cel books for
cheap. I think $9.99. Not that much to ship, I
bought some cels with my order & they gave me one
free!
Hope this helps.
