Oh my God was it that long ago?!?!?  That was the first English language
information I remember getting, and it was very helpful.  I feel SO old now.
More than ten years ago and I remember it clearly.  I suppose that's better
than not remembering.....

If George Hodges still has his series available, that was also excellent
information.  I have Larry's handicap booklets which are also excellent to
have in one's library.  Larry, if these are different than the books you
mentioned, let me know.

Bookwise, if "Shogi for Beginners" (Fairbairn) is still available, that's an
excellent primer.  "Better moves for Better Shogi" I haven't heard if it's
still available.  And the new book "The Art of Shogi" by Mr. Hosking is good.
 None of these, as far as I know, is public domain, however.  But on the
other hand, most all of these are relatively inexpensive and all are very
benefical reading and studying.
