Hi everyone. My dad (a tygem 8/9 Dan) told me that the 5 books he said were his "Go bibles" for achieving his current rank were
1) Kikyung Joongmyo (Gokyo Shumyo)
2) Hyunhyun Kikyung (Gengen Gokyo)
3) Segoe/Go Seigen Tesuji Dictionary
4) Fujisawa Shukos Tesuji Dictionary
5) Sakata Eio's Go Series & Sakata Eio's Tsumego Collection (It's called JuOk Hilgee in Korean, which roughly translates to Life&Death Gems)
Now - 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all easy to obtain. But I can't find copies of the Sakata Eio Go Series anywhere. I see that his series is available in Chinese (
http://senseis.xmp.net/?SakataEioPerfectWeiqiCollection), but I cannot read it at all so that's of no good.
Are there an English translation of his books anywhere? I know that there are some of Sakata's books in english (Tesuji & Antisuji of Go, Killer of Go, Middlegame of Go, etc etc.) - Are those books the translation of Sakata's Go Series? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
