Can anyone recommend some biographies of famous players that are available in English, assuming there are any?

These might not be considered official biographies, but L19's very own 'logan' has done an excellent job of compiling several collections of professional games in PDF format:

These collections are not only game records, but include historical information about the professional player at the beginning of the document!
It's an excellent free resource, and 'logan' is quite awesome for providing it to us.

John Fairbairn wrote on Honinbo Shuei and Inoue Genan Inseki. You can find both on Amazon.

Now that is interesting. I had no idea that the name had been changed from
Games of Go on Disk to
Games of Go on Download. Apart from the picky detail that the correct form should probably be
for download, I am curious to know what you would have done had the word for downloading been something different, not starting with d, such as
saving.

Thank you that appears to be just what I was looking for.
