<p>There are very few English-language books for people learning shogi.
The two I recommend are:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <cite>Shogi for Beginners, 2nd. Edition</cite>, by John Fairbairn.  This is a
superb beginner&rsquo;s book in every way, covering all phases of the game.
It was out of print for a long time, but has now been reprinted and is
available either from Kiseido (<a href="http://www.labnet.or.jp/~kiseido">http://www.labnet.or.jp/~kiseido</a>)
or from George Hodges (see below).

</li><li> <cite>The Art of Shogi</cite>, by Tony Hoskings.  This is one step up from the
Fairbairn book.  It covers a lot of ground, and is especially noteworthy
for its detailed treatment of opening lines.  You can order this book
from Amazon.com&rsquo;s UK branch (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk">http://www.amazon.co.uk</a>).

</li></ol>

<p>Another book you may find is <cite>Shogi: Japan&rsquo;s Game of Strategy</cite> by
Trevor Leggett.  This book is very elementary and is somewhat outdated,
having been published first in 1966.  However, it does feature a paper
shogi board and punch-out pieces, so if you want a really cheap shogi
set you might pick this book up.  It is still in print.
</p>
<p>Two books that are no longer in print but are definitely worth getting
if you find them are <cite>Guide to Shogi Openings</cite> and <cite>Better
Moves for Better Shogi</cite>, both by Aono Teriuchi.  They are published in a
bilingual edition (English/Japanese) and are the only books on shogi in
English written by a Japanese professional shogi player.  John Fairbairn
did the translation from Japanese to English.
</p>
<p>Shogi sets are available from:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>George F. Hodges <br>
P.O. Box 77 <br>
Bromley, Kent <br>
United Kingdom BR1 2WT
</p></blockquote>

<p>George also sells equipment for all the historical shogi variants
(see <a href="Shogi-variants.html#Shogi-variants">Shogi variants</a>) (except for Kyoku tai shogi) and also sells
back issues of the magazine &ldquo;Shogi&rdquo; which he published for 70 issues
in the late 70&rsquo;s to late 80&rsquo;s.  This magazine is STRONGLY recommended;
it contains more information about shogi in English than you will ever
find anywhere else.
</p>
<p>Here are some useful URLs:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>Pieter Stouten&rsquo;s shogi page: <a href="http://www.shogi.net">http://www.shogi.net</a></dt>
<dd><p>This is the main shogi-related site on the internet, with links to
almost all the other sites.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Roger Hare&rsquo;s shogi page: <a href="http://www.ed.ac.uk/~rjhare/shogi">http://www.ed.ac.uk/~rjhare/shogi</a></dt>
<dd><p>This has lots of information, including full rules to most of the shogi
variants.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Patrick Davin&rsquo;s Shogi Nexus: <a href="http://www.vega.or.jp/~patrick/shogi/">http://www.vega.or.jp/~patrick/shogi/</a></dt>
<dd><p>There&rsquo;s lots of cool stuff on this site; my favorite is the extensive
collection of Tsume-shogi (mating) problems, both for beginners and
more advanced players.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Steve Evans&rsquo; shogi page: <a href="http://www.netspace.net.au/~trout/index.html">http://www.netspace.net.au/~trout/index.html</a></dt>
<dd><p>Steve has written a program that plays almost all of the shogi variants,
unfortunately it only runs on Windows :-(
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Hans Bodlaender&rsquo;s chess variant pages: <a href="http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~hansb/d.chessvar">http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~hansb/d.chessvar</a></dt>
<dd><p>This page has an almost unimaginable variety of rules for different
chess variants, including many shogi variants (historical and non-historical).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>Wikipedia&rsquo;s shogi variant pages: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shogi_variants">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shogi_variants</a></dt>
<dd><p>Those pages contain a large number of variant rules, both ancient and
modern.
