Unfortunately I > can't find a copy. Anybody else? Having seen mentioned this Ishi so many times I finally take the time to ask some questions myself: Does Ishi also sell puzzles by mail order overseas (i.e. in Europe, especially in the Netherlands) or better: do they a distributor overhere ? How can I contact them for a brochure ? Is this the same Ishi which sells GO boards etc ? (I believe I have seen them on a Web-site somewhere). I am also looking for other company's which sell good puzzles by mail order to the Netherlands. Does anyone have the address of Meffert in HongKong ? Maybe it is good idea to make a list of company's, shops ordered by location etc, since questions like the above pop up from time to time. I know I would be interested in a such a list. It would be very useful when I am planning my holidays :). Rob Hegge. r.f.hegge@ctg.tudelft.nl
