The Power of the Star-Point
Keywords: Opening, Books & Publications
Subtitled The Sanrensei Opening. Ishi Press book G32 from 1988; translation by John Power of Takagawa's book Sanrensei no Iryoku published as volume 5 of Bessatsu Igo Kurabu in 1975.
As you'll have gathered, a book about the sanrensei opening. A general survey, now looking rather dated, with few of the Takemiya innovations.
Unfortunately and annoyingly, seems to be out of print...
