Some include card Go sets, for instance "The Book of Go" and "Learn to Play Go Volume 1", and some were made for issue in Go sets, such as the Carlton Go Pack which contained Matthew Macfadyen's book.
Many listed are long out of print, but some of the very oldest have be reprinted in recent years and may still be available. Some are very new and have not been reviewed yet, and others have been published in America and are not so well known in the UK. Most of the UK, Japan and Korean published books, and those from the big Go publishers, have been more familiar in the UK.
