One of the most stubborn vestiges of the Japanese government's protectionist bent is its 89-year-old saihan law, which makes it illegal to sell new books at a discount.

...affair, and had named his father as the inheritor. But in 1990, Nina produced another will dated a month prior to her husband's disappearance; it named "my beloved wife ... the one I love most on Earth" as sole beneficiary. Given that the gruff Teddy was not known to spout love poetry, the new will's romance novel stylings were a prime reason for its rejection. The fate of Chinachem, a private company, is still murky.
