Mad props for the pink book though, it's one of the best books on shape out there, hands down.

+1 for The Pink Book.

...But I must beg to differ with fwiffo; the muted magenta of the tin box causes an irreconcilable color clash. The black bag, however, nicely offsets a brash color like bubble-gum pink.

It really looks like a strange game. What is it ?

I seem to recall such a cover being sold by Samarkand, but their store went offline a few years ago. You might want to contact Janice Kim about the cover.

Just a thought: there a places that make custom turnable (record player) acrylic covers, and I bet they'd do one for a goban.

Hmm, thanks for the thought. Don't know if I can find one around here, but they are more likely to do one, yes.

Just make sure to get at least an inch of clearance on each side, and have it made taller than the board. No sense scratching up a nice board.

It doesn't look exactly like mine, but it resembles it somewhat.

I cleaned up my musical mess, bought a nice table, so here is mine since yesterday:

Sorry for the quality, its from my cell phone.

The board was a gift from my wife a few years ago. She found a coffee table at a Good Will that was missing the glass top, and replaced the rattan surface with a piece of oak plywood, and used a wood burner to engrave the lines. You can see foot stools underneath it at that are just the right height. The picture is taken from my computer desk in my study. I also have a small (4 1/2" thick) traditional floor board I recently acquired downstairs in the living room, but I prefer this one.
