Life In 19x19

I have a big collection of Go books at home. Decided to sell some of them.
Will start from these 2:

1. Go book, written and signed by Kitani Minoru (1947)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191349644426?ss ... 1555.l2649

2. Go book by Honinbo Doetsu, 1670 (!)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191349574272?ss ... 1555.l2649

Feel free to ask more photos or other details.

Forgot to mention, that all books are from non-smoking home

No, the book does not appear to be by Honinbo Doetsu dating to 1670. Rather it looks to be two volumes from the set Kokon Gokyou Bassui (古今碁経抜萃) which (according to the Edo books page from an old copy of GoGOD} should be dated 1786 with a total of 4 volumes (spring, summer, autumn, winter) consisting of a total of 206 pages. The set was compiled by a guy called Gengensai Shujin and records 100 games from the times of Honinbo Sansa to Honinbo Dosaku. One of the woodblock definitely says autumn (秋) while the other woodblock is not as legible.

Thx for correction. My source was wrong, it seems.
I changed my ebay listing
