Go, The World's Most Fascinating Game

Go, The World's Most Fascinating Game published in February 1973 by the Nihon Ki-in comprises two small, slim volumes (21cm x15cm, and 95 pages each). Volume 1 is titled Introduction; volume 2 is titled Basic Techniques. Neither volume appears to contain material that is not covered elsewhere.

The second printing was published in 2003. It combines the two volumes into a book with 189 pages and includes a preface by the Nihon Ki-in.
