He did not quote the Japanese title, although there does not seem to be a translation. I have written to Mr Hosking requesting information concerning this encyclopedia, but I have not receive= d a reply; I should like, therefore, to avail myself of the opportunity of addressing this forum. Since I have never seen the publication in question,= I should be very grateful if someone who is familiar with it could let me know whether the encyclopedia can be used only by those who read Japanese fluently, or whether it has been laid out in a tablet format (resembling th= e Encyclopedia of Chess Openings, which can be used by practically anyone, regardless of his mother tongue) so that it can be used even by someone who= has no command of Japanese beyond a small repertoire of a few dozen kanji. If it happens to be of the latter type, perhaps you could also indicate to me how, from whom, and at what price, it can be procured? Many thanks, A.
