This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

ラーメン大好き小泉さん: mail order purchase, because I love ramen (although not as much as Ms. Koizumi). I learned some things, and...after reading this, I need to have ramen for dinner tonight, obviously. ;)

I love that there was a chapter on saimin.

Translated by Ayumi Kato Blystone.

Saturday, October 12, 2019: themed release left on a table outside Tsuta Ramen (detached from the mall, near McDonald's). I was originally planning to put this into Nimrodiel's manga & graphic novel box, but it sort of screamed "themed release" at me, so...I had spicy tokotsu ramen; Mom had shio ramen. And yes, McDonald's does sell saimin, even though it doesn't show on the menu.

Released for Secretariat's 2019 NJABBIC challenge (week 40: fall colors) and Davros-10's 2019 TV Challenge.
