In fairness.. if you went to a bookshop (other than a University bookshop) you wouldn't find many books on physics or maths at a high level..


Actually, Chapters and Indigo books here in Ottawa have a rather full section of math and science books of all kinds. Not too many textbooks, but there are a number of higher-level concepts that are prominent enough on the shelves. Of course, if you're looking for textbooks, it's not the right place to be ...

The attraction is that everyone who plays Sudoku is single digit.

Foyles is still fantastic. I went there last time I visited the UK and spent a good half a day there.

Here you find tons of go books. Mostly in English. You should visit it when in the Netherlands. I'm sure you will spend more than you intended.

I'm surprised by the results of this thread. I had thought that every Barnes and Noble had one or two of Janice Kim's books, as well as one or two other introductory books, and that it would be the same for other large/chain stores. Guess I was wrong.

thats how it is here in middle tennessee, but we do have an up and coming go community

This month I went to a bookshop. Opened a magazine on mindgames and guess what, they had a go column.

Where i live in Paris, you can easily find french go litterature in Fnac book stores, or all the english go books in small specialized game shops. I heard these were importing their books from The Netherlands or Germany...
