I don't know your name, mine is Alan, so apologies.

I do have numerous copies of the book, but I am sure extensive research will deliver exactly what you desire.

Thanks Alan!
Tom is my name by the way. The multiple copies of Oku no hosomichi are helpful indeed. I'm currently trying to track down some of the references on Sora's Diary wiki page. Anything specifically from Sora's perspective is what I'm looking for. Thanks for you help. And Happy Thanksgiving!
