Their issue 030, just out now for summer 2008, features the NSX, and although the text is in Japanese, which I cannot read (except for parts that are in Chinese characters), the photos are wonderful, and they feature many of the historically important NSX cars over the past 20 years. A double-sided poster is included: one side is a car picture, the other side has engine stats of both 3.0L and 3.2L units along with a see-through schematic drawing of the car.

I got my issue hand-carried to me from Tokyo last week.

Do any of you who know a Japanese book/magazine store willing to order a batch of just this issue so we can all get ours at retail? I know there's a book store inside the Mitsuwa mall in Costa Mesa, but I don't know the owners and they might not be willing to do the large quantity special order.

Here is a sample of what the cover of past issues look like:

The NSX special issue has a 2002 Type S on the front cover with sunset backdrop.
 
Thanks for the head up.

Kinokuniya/紀伊国屋 in Costa Mesa carry VTEC Sports magazines. They probably have this issue at the shop right now, I have to stop by to check it out soon.

I ordered quite a few back issues from them in the past. As long as it is not out of print, they can get them and they get them fast. They welcome special orders.

Thanks for the above information.

I called one of the above locations and they said it will be 2-3 weeks before that particular issue arrives.
