Hi Fat Cyclop,

Look for http://eric.macshogi.com/shogi/more/books.html
Some information of the books mentioned before.

I can recommend the books Kees wrote about too. Unfortunately there are
hardly to buy.
Do you know this one from John Fairbairn?=20
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/4906574971/qid=3D1110830683/sr=3D8-1/=
ref=3Ds
r_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/028-9742261-4427753  ?

By the way: Thanks for recommending www.shogi.de . I like to add that the
german opening books are sold out at the moment.
As soon as they are available you will find them at www.shogishop.de

But you may check out this one:=20
"Tiny dictionary of Shogi proverbs"
http://www.shogishop.de/product_info.php?products_id=3D38&language=3Den&osC=
sid=3D0
bd879bea38e50e3af4b233c2a01da38

You will find this title in the internet too, but it is made new by Daniel
Toebbens, edited by Shogi Germany and with a lot of easily readable
diagrams. Please go to the link above.=20

Please feel free to ask more. I recommend www.shogiforum.net for this, too.=

You are invited. :-)

Best regards
Marc, shogi.de
