Books About Go

I like this first set because they have artistic merit.

The Treasure Chest Enigma
Invincible: The Games of Shusaku
The Direction of Play

The following two, while possessing merit, are more interesting to me from a memetic perspective. As the words “techniques” and “concepts” suggest, these books are basically collections of useful go memes.

Basic Techniques of Go
Strategic Concepts of Go

This next book is unusual. The content is based substantially on David Wolfe's doctoral thesis, in which he showed that a certain class of go endgame situations could be solved within the framework of combinatorial game theory.

Mathematical Go Endgames

The rest are introductory books, the ones I learned go from, so regardless of how much merit they have, it is not much fun to re-read them.

Go for Beginners
The Second Book of Go
The Magic of Go
Volume Four of Graded Go Problems for Beginners
