>And where can one get a copy of Sunny Sano's book?

I lifted this info about First Step to Shogi vol 1 from Sunny's web site
some time ago. The prices may have changed by now. The book is fun, if
somewhat cryptic. A volume 2 was planned for June 96, but as far as I know
it hasn't appeared yet. Perhaps he is spending more time on polishing the
English.

In his words:
