Here members and visitors can list books they need, and books they are willing to trade or sell. The scope of books listed may be slightly broader than our clubsite's shin hanga focus, to reflect many collectors' wider interests. It seems most collectors were either drawn to shin hanga from another related field, or vice versa. In any case, books reflect and support these pursuits, and we're happy to help. Send us an email stating your needs or offerings. NO FEES -- we do only the anonymous postings here, and the parties can deal with each other directly via the "Contact" links provided.
