Graded Go Problems For Beginners
A great set of books by Kano Yoshinori. Published by the Nihon Ki-in, copyright 1985.
Volume 1 is 30-25-kyu.
Volume 2 is 25-20-kyu.
Volume 3 is 20-15-kyu.
Volume 4 is "advanced."
If you are a beginner, buy the book that fits your level. If you have to mail order or something, here are the first problems from each of the books (if the answer isn't immediately apparent, that is the book you want)

I was reading volume 1, and noticed how well the author introduces Go concepts to the complete beginner. For example:
- Problem 1: capture
- Problem 2: capture using the edge of board
- Problem 3: capture using a corner, capture with a stone in atari
- Problem 4: capturing multiple stones
- Problem 5: local area may have unequal numbers of stones?
- Problem 6: capturing multiple stones with a group in atari
- Problem 7: as above, but away from an edge
- Problem 8: capturing two groups at once
- Problem 9: capturing big groups
- Problem 10: capturing a big group with stone becoming atari
