The book, "Games Ancient and Oriental", a Dover paperback, contains descriptions
of several chess variations including Shogi, Chinese chess, Burmeses chess,
Tamerlane's version and others.  There are sample games of most versions.
This book is a reprint of a much earlier work (around 1900?) so the language
may seem dated but there is enough detail on each of the games to be able to
learn the moves.

I was able to obtain chess sets for both shogi and chinese chess in San
Francisco in 1978, the chinese set in a shop in chinatown (where else?), and
the shogi set at a shop in the "Oriental Trade Center"(or something like that).
