We will take good care of them and they will be well loved.”  All 23 volumes of Hikaru no Go are available for free, to schools and libraries, from the American Go Foundation.  AGA chapters can also now order the sets as long as they are for club (and not personal) use. More info on Hikaru is here. -Paul Barchilon, E-J Youth Editor.  Photo by Ben Ellenwood.
