Go World Archive in digital format
Saturday, March 24th, 2007I heard a while ago about Kiseido’s plan to digitize the Go World archive, but today it’s the first time I actually saw their website at kiseidodigital.com.
They say that soon there will be 3 DVDs for sale containing the whole archive (which will cost $100, according to some other source). For now they sell individual items, in PDF format, for $2.50 each.
Here is a sample issue they offer.
Go World magazine is awesome, I learned a lot from it over time, mainly from the game commentaries, but also from the many articles on Go theory. I enjoyed a lot “The Great Joseki Debate” series (which was later published as a book) and the 2 series article “The Magnificent Obsession: Sakata Eio and Go”, among many, many others…
Here is the index of this wonderful Go magazine. Also, gobase.org has a searchable index.
I bought from Kiseido all the back printed items I could find about one year ago, but since I’m still missing a lot of issues I think I’ll also buy the DVDs when they come out.
