Hi Ricardo,

I think Aono 9 dan's "Better Moves for Better Shogi" will be helpful to
you.  It covers various intuitive concepts like good shape and whole board
perception.  Other topics include the power of pawns, endings analyses,
etc.  This is the best English/bilingual shogi books I have ever read.
The English section is translated by J. Fairbairn, the author of Shogi for
Beginners, and is very easy to read.

However, I don't know the ordering procedures today.  Nevertheless you may
write an email to Japan Shogi Association for details.

Wish this helps.
