David Carlton's review

Tapir (1d KGS): This book is an enjoyable read even if you do not play 3-3 point joseki. That's because it is mainly an introduction into whole board thinking during the opening. The limited set of 3-3 point joseki seems particularly suited to that purpose, as there are no endless variations to worry about, but at the same time there is no necessity for ex cathedra statements (like " lost the game") either, as the quality of moves can often be demonstrated convincingly.
