### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The right book but only at the right moment
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2011*

I had reached a plateau as a perpetual beginner at GO (stranded somewhere around 15 kyu): many years of very casual play with little improvement. I realized only recently that this was going to require more STUDY and more patience. This volume was among a handful, therefore, that I have found truly transformative. The explanations of Joseki here teach an important critical lesson about reading the WHOLE BOARD in choosing from among the choices available in early moves. That lesson is one that transcends the limited glossary of Joseki described within, and teaches you how to think GO. For a comprehensive encyclopedia of Joseki, there are dozens of good online sites (try "Sensei's Library", for example). None of them can lead you by the hand to re-imagining the board the way this text does.Needless to say, this book would have been useless to me if I was a slightly weaker player (weak as I am) and were I not ready for some DISCIPLINE, working over and over at combinations and trying to learn how to read. This series is, in general, commendable for that level of play and thinking about Joseki, in the way described here, improved my game across the board. Certainly knocked my game up several stones. Good for early intermediate players who are ready to study; great in combination with Ishigure's "In the Beginning".

    still a classic
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2010*

After more than 30 years, this book is still a classic.  Joseki is NOT the first thing a new player should study, it will just confuse you and lead you astray.  However, once you reach single digit kyu, it is a good idea to start looking at them.  This book gives a good overview of useful joseki, and provides an ideal introduction to the topic.  I generally recommend it be read later on in this series.  I tell my students to start with Life and Death, then Tesuji, then In The Beginning, then Attack and Defense, and then this book.There are much more modern books on joseki, but this book provides a solid overview.  I also recommend reading the information on Gobase dot org, look on the left, under Browsing, and then Joseki for their list of 25 important joseki. After that, use this book to explain why, and when, the 25 joseki on that site are useful.

    Otherwise this is a great book with a lot of rereading value
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016*

The cover says "38 Basic Josekis" instead of "38 Basic Joseki," although it is correct on along the binding and on the pages within. Additionally, the green of the book is darker than pictured, and the hand is slightly more red. If that's an issue for you, beware.Otherwise this is a great book with a lot of rereading value, although it is somewhat difficult and dense for beginners. It also has a good bit more pages than the first book in the series, which is fantastic. Fantastic reading, but it may be hard to consume for anyone under 20 kyu.
