Look what the mailman brought in!

Don't know what book to read next? Have a killer reading list for improving joseki knowledge? This is this place.

Nope, never heard of it, for some odd mental reason I thought one set was bigger than the other.

I have all tesuji books in stock, just not updated. I miss some L/D books but I hope I can get them soon. I don't think they are out of print, they are too popular ;)
Also, I expect to open the shop in a couple of weeks or so. Depending on how things go with the baby, but apparently the hospital will start the delivery medically next week; they do that for "old" women.

Thank you for letting us know :) I am definitely interested in purchasing the first two volumes of both Tesuji and L&D from your store.

Are these (the Segoe Tesuji Dictionary) the things that Yutopian lists as 'PTGES-T Encyclopedia of Tesuji - Go Seigen 3 vol'?

Thanks. I went ahead and took the plunge and ordered them too.

Sensei's library has some pages about 'Basic/Intermediate Japanese for Reading Go Books'. Does anybody know of anything similar for Chinese?

Try http://senseis.xmp.net/?ChineseGoTerms

As I recall, the last time I bought a Chinese language book from Yutopian it actually came with a sheet of Chinese go terms and their translations.

Another good source of translations which is well worth it if you plan on buying lots of CJK books is Contemporary Go Terms (http://senseis.xmp.net/?ContemporaryGoTerms). Not a perfect book but it contains tons of useful translations of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Go terms.

As Bartleby says, the Yutopian guys were nice enough to add a page with basic Chinese for Go books (among a print catalog which is nice to have and an edition of "Go Winds"). Much appreciated on their part!

I didn't get a copy of Go Winds, but the 'cheat sheet' was included. Very useful, as is the Sensei's library page -- although finding things will still take some practice. Thanks.
