    A real book for all enthusiasts and collectors that I recommend is the following:

    It contains 196 pages in colour, 499 Walkman models (Sony, Aiwa, National) and many many tapes!

    But what about all those Japanese Amazon links,
    It always tell me that's impossible to ship to Germany....?

    This is a novel sized book (small) about 200 pages , vertical Japanese writing (columns) , b&w small photos.
    I bought that book last September , translation is progressing at slow pace , no fancy photos or glossy paper only essential Sony design history from a ... Sony designer , not only for walkmans , but more about it in the future.
    The book itself is not expensive but shipping to Greece was about 4x the books price , proper translation will cost you huge amounts of time but if you are a weirdo like me you may enjoy it !

    Incidentally @JK1210 If I recall correctly the book was found at Amazon Japan but was able to buy it through Amazon.de , and a question , have you mentioned here the book you found the info about the Hokaido and the transparent walkmans on the King of rarity thread ?

    I signed up on Amazon.jp I can order books, shipping is around $17 USD per book. I tried to join the Kindle Reader Club which has a ton of the books available but it won't let me in. Hopefully I can figure out a workaround.
