Hi people

I was made redundant last month an am forced to sell my go library (as
well as 500 books on other topics!) to drum up some capital for a self-employed business.

I've put together this list (see MS Word document attached). The 'Condition' column uses
Amazon's condition guidelines and around 60 of the books are 'like new' because I have
never read them and they're in mint condition - ashamed to say! That's why I'm a permanent 8k :(

I've tried to make all these prices competitive compared with Amazon.co.uk and other publishers/distributors like Kiseido/Yutopian/Slate and Shell/ etc.

In addition ... you can deduct a further 20% from these catalog prices if you are able to make
payment before 20th May (either Paypal or direct funds transfer to my account).

Shipping is same cost as Amazon (£2.80 per book for UK) - or if you order 5 or more books you can choose your
shipment method and I will charge just the actual postage.

Thank you kindly :)

David

If you provide a malware-free file format or a file format where editors can be set to ignore all scripts, I will read the list.

I've attached a PDF version of that catalog for those who may have problems with .doc files. If OP doesn't like it I will take it down immediately but just doing this for other's convenience.

Some good books at partially attractive prices, provided you have not read them yet:)

Hi John. Thank you for your post! Hope you're enjoying the poolside! :)

Hi Robert.

Well ... I've sought to use the Amazon defintions. Here is my understanding of their sytem (I find their own definitions on their website kinda awkward to understand, but this is how I use them):-
'Like New' means you would be completely happy with it if you just bought it in a shop.
'Very good' means not quite as good as that - there is some flaw(s), but absolutley no underlining/highlighting/annotation anywhere.
'Good' means more flaws/or and some underlining, but still a nice, clean copy.
'Acceptable' means the lowest acceptable level, ie all the pages are there and are readable, but ... there are many flaws and/or considerable underlining/highlighting/annotation - and the book might be somewhat grubby.

Hope that clarifies somewhat. :)
Kind regards.

It's really tough to say "you" in English when one means "man" in German... If one says one, then one person understands but maybe not you, o o :) Sorry for the confusion. (I have those books or they are below my strength. So my remark was an encouragment for other potential buyers.)

Hi People.

A big thank you to everyone that has already purchased books!
Several orders are on their way.

There are still 65 books left. I'm attaching here an
up-to-date catalog (as a pdf).

Also, due to popular demand, I have changed the shipping arrangements.
However many books you order, I will get a quote from the post office
and charge actual shipping cost.

:)

Best regards
David

Hi everyone. A big thank you to those who have purchased. Several more piles of books
have been sent out.

There are still 50 books left. I'm attaching a pdf of the catalog as it stands.

Don't forget 20% discount - And I've extended the time so that you still get this
discount if you order (and pay) by the *25th* May. :)

Cheers.

Hi people. Just want to say that there are still 46 go books left for sale, of
which around 32 are in 'Like New' condition.

And I'm keeping the 20% discount opportunity open to all, if you can pay by 31st
May (preferably by Paypal) :)

I'm attaching the up-to-date catalog to this message (pdf). Remember, you can take
away 20% from any of these prices if you can pay by 31st May.

On top of that ... I have a few Chinese-language go books, which I have scanned
the front covers and some sample pages. If anyone wants to know more, I
will happily email the scans to you.

Cheers!

Got my book sooner than I thought, in tip-top shape as well. David made the whole process extremely easy and I am thoroughly satisfied. Thank you again.

Hi people. There are still lots of books left - many in 'Like New' condition.

And I'm now keeping the 20% discount available until they are all sold!!!

Just have a browse and tell me what you are interested in. I will quote
the postage options. Then you pay by Paypal and I ship!

It's simple! :)

Hi people

There are still around 15 books left. Some quite nice ones.

I attach the catalog (see the pdf).

I'm feeling a bit mad at the moment (must be the hot weather today
in UK).

If you can pay (using Paypal) by Friday 1st July 12pm (British Summer Time) you
can DOUBLE YOUR DISCOUNT, ie take a 40% discount! :)

(Ie you can reduce the prices in this catalog by 40%.)

C'mon ... I dare ya!! :)

David
