-There are very few English-language books for people learning shogi.
-The two I recommend are:

-
-<LI>
-<CITE>Shogi for Beginners, 2nd. Edition</CITE>, by John Fairbairn. This is a
-superb beginner's book in every way, covering all phases of the game.
-It was out of print for a long time, but has now been reprinted and is
-available either from Kiseido (<A HREF="http://www.labnet.or.jp/~kiseido">http://www.labnet.or.jp/~kiseido</A>)
-or from George Hodges (see below).
-<P>
-
-<LI>
-<CITE>The Art of Shogi</CITE>, by Tony Hoskings. This is one step up from the
-Fairbairn book. It covers a lot of ground, and is especially noteworthy
-for its detailed treatment of opening lines. You can order this book
-from Amazon.com's UK branch (<A HREF="http://www.amazon.co.uk">http://www.amazon.co.uk</A>).
-<P>

-<P>
-
-Another book you may find is <CITE>Shogi: Japan's Game of Strategy</CITE> by
-Trevor Leggett. This book is very elementary and is somewhat outdated,
-having been published first in 1966. However, it does feature a paper
-shogi board and punch-out pieces, so if you want a really cheap shogi
-set you might pick this book up. It is still in print.
-</P><P>
-
-Two books that are no longer in print but are definitely worth getting
-if you find them are <CITE>Guide to Shogi Openings</CITE> and <CITE>Better
-Moves for Better Shogi</CITE>, both by Aono Teriuchi. They are published in a
-bilingual edition (English/Japanese) and are the only books on shogi in
-English written by a Japanese professional shogi player. John Fairbairn
-did the translation from Japanese to English.

-George also sells equipment for all the historical shogi variants
-(see section <A HREF="gnushogi_17.html#SEC17">2.4 Shogi variants</A>) (except for Kyoku tai shogi) and also sells
-back issues of the magazine "Shogi" which he published for 70 issues
-in the late 70's to late 80's. This magazine is STRONGLY recommended;
-it contains more information about shogi in English than you will ever
-find anywhere else.

-more advanced players.
