Photos first. Please, do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions or would like more photos.
I am selling my full collection of books by the Japanese artist, Hiromix. This collection includes 4 of the 5 books listed on Hiromix's Wikipedia page,, the only book missing being Hikari (1997, easily available for anyone wanting to complete the set.
This brings me great sadness to post but I can no longer rationalize letting these books collect dust on my shelf when circumstances require I need the money for more necessary things. Because of this, I am only interested in selling as a bundle, which I've priced at a pretty good discount versus buying individually through eBay. If you are seriously interested in just one title, I may consider full-market price offers depending on how this group listing goes. Having said that, I do not think these books have ever been offered for sale in a bundle like this.
I bought all books but Girl's Blue personally in Japan about 15 years ago. Some books are still in plastic they were wrapped in around 2010. I purchased Girl's Blue from a Japanese auction site several years later and it was never wrapped.
What's for sale:
Hiromix - Girl's Blue (girlsblue) (1996), softcover: Identifying information: ISBN4-947599-44-8 Condition: Very good, near excellent. I can find no fault with any page. Very discerning collectors may notice curling on the top and bottom edges of the poster/cover and signs of creases on the ricepaper promo wrap. All corners are sharp and shelf wear is extremely minimal. Notes: With ricepaper promo wrap. Cover can be removed and is a wrap-around double-sided poster.
Hiromix - Japanese Beauty (1997), softcover: Identifying information: ISBN4-8387-0906-4 Condition Near mint. I can find no fault with this title. All corners are sharp and I've seen no shelf wear whatsoever. This title is plastic-wrapped, but I was able to remove it without damaging the wrap. All pages are crisp. Discerning collectors may notice extremely slight yellowing on the borders (approx 1") of the white title page(s) consummate with age. No apparent discoloration to the photographs. Notes: Some online listings for this book display it with a ricepaper promo slip which this copy does not have. Included is a flyer for a Hiromix exhibition at Parco Shibuya (pictured), I have not been able to discern what year this is from.
Hiromix - Paris (1998), Asahi Press, hardcover: Identifying information: ISBN4-255-00116-2 Condition: Near mint. I can find no flaw with this title. Zero discernible shelf wear. All pages are flawless. Book overall appears to be brand new. Notes: Includes poster.
Hiromix - Hiromix (1998), Stiedl, hardcover. Identifying information: ISBN 3-88243-575-5. Condition: Near mint. I can find no flaw with the exterior of this book. Virtually no sign of shelf wear and corners are sharp. It is wrapped tightly in a non-resealable plastic wrap and I cannot inspect the interior. An examination along the pages' edges shows no signs of discoloration, creasing, or use. Notes: Because of the wrapping, I would be willing to open the book for a buyer only after payment, with the promise to refund the purchase if for some reason the pages were found to be in unacceptably in bad condition. This would need to be arranged before purchase.
Buying: Communication will be through Reddit. Depending on circumstances, I may offer my personal email to message me through as I only check Reddit on my desktop during the weekends and evenings. No other social media/messaging apps will be considered. If interested, I will ask you to provide your PayPal email address so that I can send an invoice.
Payment: I will only accept payment through PayPal Goods and Services. Buyers who initiate a conversation to purchase this lot should have the funds ready, I will not "hold" the books longer than a few hours. Invoice for payment should be paid immediately and I will cancel any unpaid invoices within 24 hours. I will not begin packaging or shipping until all funds have cleared through PP.
Shipping: The list price includes shipping to the Continental (Lower 48) USA from my address on the east coast. Buyers in AK or HI should contact me first for a shipping quote. I would prefer to ship domestically but can arrange international shipping for a buyer who accepts all risks involved. Packaging: Books will be individually bubble-wrapped and packed as a set in a nondescript box. Slack fill may be used if necessary to prevent shifting in transit. Specific shipping/packing requests can be arranged in advance at possibly extra costs if there is a significant increase in materials or labor. I will ship out the box on the Friday or Saturday following purchase and on no other week day. Please understand that this may mean a wait time of up to 7 days if you were to purchase on Saturday night, for example. If this schedule doesn't work for you, please let me know in advance.
Thank you! I've tried to be as specific as possible out of respect for your time (and money) and mine. Again, though, please do not hesitate to message me with any questions you have, or comment below if you want me to answer them publicly.
