2.4: Equipment: books, boards, stones etc.
Outside the far east, there are relatively few shops where Go equipment is sold. Large bookshops may carry a beginners book, and large games/toy stores may carry a goban and stones.
Therefore, unless you happen to live close to one of the shops listed below, the easiest way to buy equipment is via mail/web/phone order from those shops.
The following lists, in alphabetical order, the details of those shops which carry a general supply of Go material and which have web sites.
