Top review from the United States

Thomas Hochmann
5.0 out of 5 stars Handy book for players of all skill levels
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2002
I've only been playing Go for a short time, but this was one of the first books I bought, and I'm very pleased with it. It's nice to pick it up and casually read some of the proverbs. Even if I'm not yet skilled enough to fully make use of all the strategies and tactics outlined in the book, just the general concepts I take away from reading it are invaluable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about the ins and outs of Go.
