After seeing, for a long time, copies of "Go proverbs illustrated" at ridiculous prices, I was fortunate to pick up a good copy
for �15 +�4 p&p from abebooks.co.uk
At last I'm now in possession of the book that someone "borrowed" c. 1975
I'm now waiting for Tesuji and anti-suji of Go to appear.

I sold that one for $100 recently, in mint condition.

I won't pay that much !
Hopefully someone will scan their copy and place it on the p2p file sharing network.
The publishers will then only have themselves to blame.

That's the solution: steal it instead.
Is that how you get all your media?

Better than buying it from a greedy bastard who lords it over other go players boasting of the price they were able to get for
Tesuji and Anti-Suji of Go
If you read my earlier post you would have seen that I bought Go Proverbs Illustrated - at a fair price - so your question is
unwarranted.

Yes i live in Asia and have "certain resources" as a result
unavailable to my western brothers.
No go book should cost $100. Second point. Resources in the form of
books will never replace government-level support for Go.
Government-level support for Go will never come in the USA because
it's a capitalistic society. Who among us will run for congress and
get Go in the education system?

Never-the-less, its getting its foot in the door.
A few of the local schools are starting clubs, and the AGF is stepping up
with practical help. Admittedly, nowhere near the Godokoro system, but
there are a few bright spots.

This is a non sequitur. I very much doubt that “no government support”
was immediately followed by “national government support” in any Asian
countries either.
There are many levels of government below Congress in the USA (and in
most countries). You could, for instance, run for local council, and
promote that local schools use specific abstract board games
historically shown to have high correlation with healthy cognitive
development (why yes, you do have a good example in mind of such a game,
how kind of them to ask).
This is how national support for such things most commonly emerges:
because it first happens at a local level and turns out to have
demonstrably good results.

If you want to compare the Asian and Western go support infrastructures,
the western nations have many centuries of ground to cover, and most of
it does not directly involve government support.

I thought about what you said but I do not agree because there exist
too many examples of great success when things are done differently. I
think that we should follow the Korean example. Within a few short
years they went from nothing to something.
