Korean baduk book shop

Post by Maronchan »

http://badukbooks.blogspot.com

Hello!

I originally put this post under the trading section but figured it might fit here better.

I'm a baduk player currently studying in South-Korea, and after a year of pause I reopened my online baduk shop.
If You are interested in some Korean baduk books, please let me know!
Also, if there is a Korean book You don't find in the list, just let me know and I'll try to get it for You.
If You are interested in ordering or have any questions, please enquire at this e-mail address: badukbooks@gmail.com

Thank You! ^^

I recently ordered Cho Hye-yeon 9p's latest L&D books and two endgame books by Lee Changho from her, and got them today. They arrived fairly quickly in excellent condition. (I'll post pics and a review later, if anyone's interested)

White and yellow text on an orange background is nearly unreadable.

It's even worse with the black text against the dark background which scrolls. You can't really read anything that overlaps the books in the stationary background.

I see, I'm sorry about that.
I have no idea what other color would be well-readable though. :-/

If you really want the text in front of the picture, I'd suggest
- to either darken the background picture and use a light font color (white)
- or lighten the background picture (like a watermark that it does not distract from the text so much) and use a dark font color (black)

Black text on a white background. Forget the fancy background. List what you have for sale, the prices, and the methods of payment and shipping.

Comments about the website aside, I have made a number of orders from Alexandra in the past and found her to be a good source for Korean go books.

Looks like she's responded to the feedback, and changed the colors to make the website easier to read.

Looks like this source of Korean baduk books is now gone.
