Dust Spot!!
	Contains: Dust Spot!! Shake Your Buddha Kemo's 24 Hours ?'s Illness
	Notes: This book is actually the first collection of Takahashi's short stories ever published. The name, "Dust Spot!!" is the Japanese title of what Viz renamed "Wasted Minds". Both "Dust Spot!!" and "Shake Your Buddha" would later be collected again, but "Kemo's 24 Hours" and "?'s Illness" can only be found here. I found this book at a used book store in Osaka, but outside of Japan it is quite difficult to find.

Like the previous volumes, this set of stories is also available in English.

Rumiko Takahashi Selection

	Notes: This gem is one of the rarest Takahashi items ever made. It contains two stories from her days as a college student prior to being hired by Shogakukan. Only 350 of these books were made, Group A consisted of 50 books and were given to the people responsible for manufacturing the book. These were signed by Takahashi. In Group B 300 were sold to the general public, and contained a reproduction signature and drawing of Spark Enjoji. We paid several hundred dollars for our copy, and nowadays I have seen a copy selling for roughly $1,000. The collection was published August 22, 1986. It was published by Ginreishousha, and our copy is Group B #285.

	Notes: Kemo Kobiru collects three more of Takahashi's doujinshi stories from her college days. Both "Bye-Bye Road" and "A Band of Young Ruffians" can be found elsewhere but this is the only place to find "Happiness Body Synthesis" which is the original version of "Golden Gods of Poverty" in its more rough, amateur state. Takahashi created a more detailed version of this story and republished it with Shogakukan as "Golden Gods of Poverty".

There is some overlap with the above "Kemo Kobiru" collection, which features work collected under her original pen name. A limited number of these were published. Our copy is numbered 31 in an unknown print run. The other information states that it was printed December 20, 1980 and published December 31, 1980.
