As part of an impending move, with a need to make space, and because I haven't been playing go in nearly a year, I'm selling off most of my go book collection. I have lots of books, from all the major publishers, and nearly all of them are in mint condition. (I take very good care of all my books.) I also have DVDs of Go World and Go Review to sell.

I don't have time right now to deal with selling individual books, but if there's anyone in Europe who might be interested in buying a bunch of books, PM me. (Europe because I'm in France, and shipping will be more affordable; I would sell the DVDs to anyone, however, since they're very light.) I have an excellent collection, and own most of the most popular books that were published in English in the past two decades.

Update: Here's a list - if there are any specific collectables that you're interested in, let me know. Or if there's any series or group of books, or anything other than individual books for now. Books are in mint condition unless otherwise specified. I don't have time to get prices, so I'll provide prices on request.

I just got my package containing:
Quote:
The Power of the Star Point by Takagawa Shukaku (Ishi Press)
The 1971 Honinbo Tournament
Reducing Territorial Frameworks by Shuko Fujisawa
All About Life and Death by Cho Chikun (Ishi Press - rare edition)
The Great Joseki Debates by Honda Kunihisa (Ishi Press - very good condition)
Beyond Forcing Moves by Takagi Shoichi (Ishi Press - good condition)
The 3-3 Point: Modern Opening Strategy, Cho Chikun (Ishi Press)
A Compendium of Trick Plays from the Nihon Kiin

Go World Archive (3 DVDs, issues 1-108)
Go Review Archive (3 DVDs, complete)

All of the books are in very good condition, except for 'Beyond Forcing Moves' (was only advertised as good condition anyway, not mint) which has small dents on the cover. So I am very happy :)

I'm sorry to all, my move took a lot more work than I had expected. I haven't been able to unpack my books yet, and hope to do so this week.

Shevek, please send the above as a PM. I have a number of requests in a queue in my list of PMs, and will be dealing with them in order.

Thanks.

I just wanted to let you all know that I haven't forgotten you, but that I still haven't been able to unpack my books. I'm hoping to start in the next week or so, when I get some bookshelves (which should be delivered in the next couple of days). Sorry for the delay, but I've kept all the PMs, and will be contacting you in the order in which you wrote to me.
