Meirinkan Books — Local services in Tokyo

Bookshop in Jimbocho area of Tokyo selling used science and mathematics textbooks in both Japanese and English. The physical store is on two floors. Both the top and basement level have books in either language. There is a huge number of books, with books spilling onto the floor in big piles in typical Japanese bookshop fashion. There is a vast collection of graduate level books here.

Most of the books appear to be in very good condition as if hardly read, and many appear to be brand new. Generally the books are university undergraduate or graduate level textbooks. I suppose that a lot of the books were bought by graduate students, and then sold after they finished their course.

The prices are high for most of the books, but there is a "bargain" section in the front of the shop where some cheap books are to be found. Generally the price seems to relate to whether the book is in good condition, or has writing on the inside. I found some "bargain books" here.

電気鉄道を扱う学習書が三冊もあった。 これらが新本だった時代は、国鉄も過渡期で、未だなお蒸気機関車人気であったが鉄道学園の若手は、蒸気動車の有資格者が多くその養成を受けさせてもらえず、やむ無く電車を受けようと思いを切り替え、学習書を手に取った人たちが多かったと聞く。今では80歳くらいの人達か。往時は電気車はもとより、窯焚き機関士はかなりのエリートであったのだ。

私が持ったのは内燃車だったけれども、操縦者試験は概ね、この頃と同じような問題が出たものである。

当店で惹かれたのは、鉄道工学書、昭和の音響機器の解説書。

来店の他のお客さんには、それぞれ専門分野があり、当店では一人あたり本棚一台くらいの冊数が(その人にだけ)輝いて見えるのだろう。

そして物足りなくなり、他の店へ行く。違う店で物足りなくなった人が...
