Since it was just published, it may take a few more days for the sample to appear on Amazon. Sorry for the confusion!

The English translation of Yili Zhigui Xubian by go saint Shi Xiangxia of the Qing dynasty is now available under the title Go Fundamentals , and can be purchased on CreateSpace and Amazon.

The quote from Wang You Qing Le Ji says, "The go board contains 361 points. The characters ping, shang, qu, ru (four tones) are used to describe each quadrant, which contains 90 points. The left hand side of the go board is honorable, and thus ...

I'm curious about a very old Chinese go book that is the subject of this Sensei's Library page:

Wangyou Qingle Ji
忘憂清樂集

Does anyone know if photographs of it can be found online somewhere? Or is anyone here at ...

I just checked that PDFs are not recommended for ...

It would be nice if the "Go Book of Peach Blossom Spring" was available in digital form - preferably PDF or in SmartGo Books.
