The site basically said it was her husband's and had a little bit of stuff from Toyo Ozaki herself. I've forgotten how I tracked it down originally, but I think I was looking through a lot of Japanese PS sites and eventually found a link to it.

And today, I have found a really old book mark to the site! Here it is:
http://homepage1.nifty.com/shosi-senban/index.html

It looks a lot different than I remember and there is very little reference to Toyo now that I can find. I did find what appears to be an option to buy a revised reprint of the PSIII artbook! Go here:
http://pro.tok2.com/~ape/shosisenban/cg ... /index.cgi

In the right hand frame, click "ファンタシースターIII" near the top to find the book. The cover is different, but the sample content matches some of pictures I've seen from the original book. It's listed at 800 yen. I'm not entirely sure if this is legitimate, how many of these books they have, or if this shopping cart even works, but maybe it will help someone find the book.

Thanks Thoul for those great find :) Since I already have my copy on its way, I will not test my luck on this, but it might be really something to try for those who wants to have a chance at getting this book :)

Edit: And yes, this is the Diet version of the Book, so the real deal, with a different cover. If you can buy from there, then you can go and do it, you'll receive the right book...I wonder why an easier way to buy things always appear to me right after I've did tons of search and effort to get something :( Anyway, I'll bookmark it, and might buy it anyway, just to have the 2 versions of the book.

I saw something about using an Amazon gift certificate to make the purchase there, so I might try it myself. I have some cash in my Amazon account that should cover this, if they'll ship to the US.

Great news. I've already told our official PS collector and sharer, orakio_rob, of this opportunity.

As he lives near me, I made a suggestion of buying two copies, one for me, one for him. Let's hope the offer is working, so he can share this great book with everybody.

... and my Japanese friend is already buying our copies! Thanks a lot, Thoul and tilinelson2!

What's the difference between the "diet" version and the other?

I know it is a second edition, but whether it has more or less content, I don´t know.

Once you have put the book in pdf, I'll compare the page with my own version and tell the differences :)

I have the Saturn PS collection and the PS complete collection cd soundtrack. I'd love to have a Rika figurine, I scan ebay once in a while but have yet to see one, but I know they exist cause I've seen pics on the internet.

If you're referring to this one then you're out of luck I'm afraid. No other character besides Nei has been given the model treatment. This one is a fan made sculpt, one of a kind. A great pity too because I know I'd like to have one. *points to title*
