Xian Ji Wu Ku
Xiān Jī Wǔkù (仙機武庫 Traditional Chinese) (仙机武库 Simplified Chinese) (Arsenal of Immortal Devices) is a famous chinese go manual compiled around 1629 in the Ming Dynasty by Lù Xuányǔ (陸玄宇) and his son. Being a famous collector of go manuscripts, Lù thoughtfully selected and editted this book from several famous go manuals and game records available of the period. Later on, the famous go player from the late Ming early Ching Dynasty, Guo Bailing 過百齡 revised a new version of the book.
The book is composed of eight scrolls: Gold, Rock, Silk, Bamboo, Gourd, Earth, Leather, Wood.
For tsumego fans, the most important scrolls would be the Leather and Wood scrolls which together contain over 400 interesting problems. There are bound to be duplicates to other problems as this is a compilation editted from earlier works.

If someone could kindly reedit this using the book template, that would be great. I'm not sure how to use templates.
