Nick asked me for an address from which he could order _Go
Weekly_.  Since there seems to be some interest in Japanese Go
books, I thought I'd send what I know to the mailing list.

Hi Nick --

The Japanese newspaper _Go Weekly_ concentrates on current events
in the Japanese professional Go world but usually has a number of
interesting series running, such as "Joseki That Amateurs Don't
Know" and "The Dojo for Handicap Go."

_Go Weekly_ is published by the Nihon Kiin, though I don't know
what department.  You might try writing to my friend John Power
at the following address for information (he may have a list of
books published by the Nihon Kiin as well) --

     Mr. John Power
     Kai-Gai-Bu (Overseas Dept.)
     Nihon Kiin
     Go-ban-cho 7-2
     Chiyoda-ku. Tokyo-to T102
     Nihon (JAPAN)

Tell him Max sent you.

He may also be able to send you the addresses of some publishers
of Go books in Japan if you ask.

You might also try Ishi Press, though I don't have their address
right now.  I'm not sure that Richard bothers with Japanese Go
books any more, but it can't hurt to ask.

Bye,
Max.
