JudoNotes

On Sunday I discovered that all books at Kinokuniya are 50% off until the end of the year. Kinokuniya is a really nice Japanese bookstore at 10 West 49th, just west of 5th Ave. They have books in Japanese and English, including a martial arts section with a subsection dedicated to judo.

I stumbled in because I was in the neighborhood and remembered I'd been meaning to check the place out. Lucky me! I picked up three Masterclass books and a kata book.

The store is moving to 1073 6th Ave., between 40th and 41st, after 25 years at the old location. I heard a clerk say this was because of insane rents, and that the new location is already open (presumably without the 50% discount). Based on my experience on Sunday, and the glowing comments here, I look forward to checking the new place out.
