Japanese books

I've recently come across several Japanese language paperbacks that I'd like to list on eBay. I don't know Japanese so I can't tell much about them. One is "A Happy Death" by Camus (it also has the title in French on the cover). Two appear to involve game instruction: Mahjong (or riichi mahjong) and Go. The mahjong book also has "Tsuchiya Taste Book" on the cover. The other paperback has virtually no English that I can find.  Using the eBay app's image identification on each book turns up lots of Japanese language books but not the one I am searching. Any thoughts on how I can find out about these books and how I might list them? 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Take a picture of the title pages of the books, and paste the pictures into the google images search page. That will give you the option of getting a google translation of the text. It works very well.

I'm sorry. I must be doing something wrong. When I do that, I get many photos of Japanese books including the one I have. But when I click on that photo, I get a page of information in Japanese.

Ok. I think I see what to do. I click on Translate at the bottom and it does give me a translation of the title.

Once you know the title and publisher, go to an international book seller site like vialibri.net or abebooks.com if you don't see them on ebay.
