This looks like a wonderful series for people interested in Go history. Can anyone suggest a way of finding (for example) volume 3 of Dosaku, either on Amazon.jp or via a bookshop which speaks a European language!

Bob McGuigan: Almost all of these books are out of print. [ext] Akashiya Shoten, a book store in Tokyo that specializes in used and old go books, probably has most of them available. The web site is in Japanese. Probably someone on their staff could respond to an English email inquiry. They list volume 3 on Dosaku for 4000 yen.
