From: Kuniholm mail sdccu net Date: 30 sep 2007 Subject: Shogi Foundation Books Fellow Shogi Players: Does someone know if the Shogi Foundation, publisher of Tony Hosking's great shogi books, takes direct orders from the US in dollars? It's hard when you get someone interested in Shogi and there's no real way, before their interest flags, to get books in the US either cheaply or quickly. Check out Amazon.com and you'll see that US prices are prohibitively high ($61 for The Art of Shogi, for instance), while Amazon.uk takes quite a while to deliver. Personally, I've been able to purchase three of Hosking's four Shogi books on Ebay, but it may be a while before Classic Shogi becomes available. The cheapest option, ironically, may be for me to order it from Japan. It would be nice if any Amazon affiliates in the US picked up Hosking's titles, or if one of the many equipment distributors on Ebay saw fit to add the books to their inventory. Anyone interested?
