Has anyone purchased from Europe? Do they offer a choice of shipping methods? Are the shipping costs reasonable? The website won't calculate shipping without first placing an order.

I don't see a word about it on their website. Do the prices listed reflect the sale? |

Thank-you xyzer. I've taken the opportunity to purchase 400 Years of Go in Japan. Masterpieces of Handicap Go, those are an absolute steal. |

Way of Play in the 21st Century is not published by Slate & Shell, hence not discounted. The price for Kamakura has been corrected to $18.00. |

I do have to say that I am a little annoyed that I purchased the entire four volume set of Fujisawa Shuko's Dictionary of basic Tesuji at $25 a volume just a coupled of months ago. Now, they are $18.50/volume! I wish I had just waited! Better get your deal now! |

The paper pages and cover seems to be thicker than Kiseido or Yutopian books in comparison. Print quality seems as good as you can expect from any textbooks. I am not sure if you would be able to appreciate the thickness of the paper stock on photos. Maybe xyzer can expound on that a little better. |

I'm interested in this, too. I tried emailing them, but their mail server has been having a "temporary local problem" for the past 3 days and rejected all my emails.

They're typical paperback books. |
