Does anyone know where I can order or find furigana books? I understand that most are for children but, I don't mind.

Furigana book? neutral You mean a book that's written only in hiragana without any kanji at all? Or a book that has kanji with furigana beside it (because you can't have furigana without kanji). If it's the first case, I'd try someplace like Amazon's Japan site - they'd have kids' books there. And if it's the latter case, you can always try manga - lots of kids' manga contains furigana to go with the kanji.

I couldnt find any books in kana as well, untill my sensei gave me some.
Heres a link to a website with a bunch of educational materials. Scroll down to the Shinkansen reader series. I've only read a few but I would highly recomend them, they have a dictionary of the words they use in the back and have varied levels of skill.

hope this helps.

Sasuga Books is a very comprehensive America-based Japanese book store. Look for childrens book, and for manga aimed for a younger set, they will have furigana.
