It arrived yesterday from Yutopian. They look like these, don't they?

Beautiful looking books :)

Do you know what level (or range) these tesuji books are aimed at? I know they are beyond me but I have been curious about these books along with Shuko's Dictionaries of Basic Tesujis and what level they are for and what the differences are between them. I would love to get the first couple of LCH Tesuji and L&D books but I can't find them for sale anywhere :sad:

Heh Oren, I know, this is why I bought them ;)

Dazz, I still have not checked, I only know what SL says, I'll give a look to the first later today or tomorrow. As for YCH, they're in mohsart.se!

I wish they were in mohsart.se but the shop is closed right now. I checked there before it closed and the first 3 volumes of both the Tesuji and L&D were not in stock. I wonder if they are out of print.

Dazz, the C problems are okay (at least the first two), the rest are still ahead of me

That should be a new reprint Taiwanese version of these classics. The older version were clothbound with gray color covers.

Thanks. Let me know how you find the rest of the C stream problems.

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.

Hi Mats,

I have a "business" question for some random future when I have slightly more money (saving helps for this): if I were to buy the 7 tesuji volumes and the 6 tsumego volumes, would it be cheaper to buy them all together (13 vols) or buy in several batches of packages? I'm in Spain, I guess this is relevant. I want my own set of these books, currently I'm using them off a friend.

I've got a set of them for sale; EU residents only, because of shipping costs. (I haven't listed my Japanese and Chinese books yet in the thread about my books for sale.)

PM me with an offer if you're interested.

Together. Shipping seems to be about the same but I throw in one for free when a whole set is bought.
However, I was only aware of six tesuji books.

I've HEARD of a larger book with the same cover, but never actally seen it, perhaps that's the one you're thinking of?
