Title: Excellent series - difficult to obtain first volume
Review: Bought volumes 2-5 last year, loved the series but couldn't get a hold of the first volume until this year. If you've ordered this and are waiting for it to ship, stop: I tried to order from several different suppliers before realizing that no one's shipping new copies of this one.To my pleasant surprise, this summer in France I discovered the series IS in print in french. If you speak the language, it's for sale for ~18 euros (~25 dollars) - still expensive, but not the crazy prices you'd pay for a used copy of the out of print english edition.http://www.amazon.fr/Lhistoire-3-Adolf-Caroline-Pellerin/dp/2759501388/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s;=books&qid;=1230606292&sr;=8-1I haven't researched other countries, but I strongly recommend reading this volume first - it really sets up the rest of the excellent story very well. I would've appreciated the rest of the series more if I had read this first.Love osamu tezuka! This is one of his greats.
