Hi Bruce,

>Are back issues of the Shogi Magazine still available?

Yes, issues 2 through 70 should still be available.

>Does
>George Hodges still sell any shogi-related materials such as sets or
>back issues of the magazine?
>
The latest I heard (which is some years old) is that he is still selling
off whatever he has in stock, but no new things. Sets were probably the
first to go.

>How would one get hold of him these days?
>
There is a file in the SHOGI-L archives called shogi.address, which lists
him as:
George F. Hodges (Shogi books, sets, magazines etc., formerly The Shogi
    Association, TSA). P.O. Box 77, Bromley, Kent BR1 2WT, England.
    +44-81-468 7050, Fax +44-81-295 1550, Telex 896426 (hodges g).

>Also, I thought that there were 70 issues of Shogi Magazine - does
>your mention of 69 issues imply that all of the issues except one
>are still available?
>
The first issue got destroyed when his basement flooded, so by some quirky
twist of fate, it's now a collector's item. You may be able to purchase the
complete set (including #1) bound in blue leather, though, but I do not
know if he still has those. I have actually never seen one myself.

Hope this helps, Pieter.
