I have noticed that quite a few strong players here take the pain to import Asian books from overseas. So here are a few more. It's a series of 7 books for 5 dan players[1]:

  1. Considering Kikashi (キカシを考える,ISBN: 4416700261)
  2. Counter-measures To Big Moyo (大模様対策, ISBN: 441679956X)
  3. Playing Thickly (厚く打つ, ISBN: 441670142X).
    JF provided insights, kifu and more in this [ext] rec.go.games thread (google archive).
  4. Getting Strong In The Corner (隅に強くなる,ISBN: 4416701411)
  5. How Fights Work (戦いの仕掛け方 実力五段囲碁読本 , ISBN: 4416702388)
  6. The Tenacity of Ko (コウのねばり,ISBN: 4416701152)
  7. Counter-measures To Tricky Plays (悪力対策 ISBN: 4416700288)


They are all authored(?) by the Editorial Commitee of the Japanese magazine Igo, priced ¥1890 for about 220 pages, 21 x 15 cm. Published between 1999 and 2002.
You may view them at the following [ext] Amazon Japan page. I've listed the books in the order Amazon lists them: it may very well not be the order within the series.
[1] I am not competent at all to translate the titles; it's just to give an idea of the topics.


NN: If I remember correctly, it was more written about book 'Getting Strong In The Corner' (but maybe someone deleted it). Can anyone who has this book or had a chance to look at it write more info? I assume (and kind of remember from that post that disappeared) that knowledge of Japanese is not necessary to get a lot from this book. Anyone can provide more info? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hyperpapeterie: There's some discussion in the discussion/talk/forum page (I don't know what to call it) where BobMcGuigan expresses roughly the sentiment you describe about the corner book. Is that what you were thinking of?
