The Book to Increase Your Fighting Strength at Go
囲碁の力を強くする本 (The Book to Increase Your Fighting Strength at Go) -- A modern classic written by Segoe Kensaku (瀬越憲作); it is still in print after almost 40 years.
Basically, this book is the work to get you to a superior reading level. This book is perfect as an addition to James Davies Tesuji, which, while a great work, only teaches you the basics. This work teaches you the basics and improves them greatly.
The volumes contain 318 problems of varying degrees of difficulty. (Players below 5 kyu might find the majority of them too difficult.) The problems are tesuji problems, but also require reading to some depth.
The work is comprised of two volumes(ASIN: 4416703066 and 441670321X). It is available from Amazon Japan and
Kinokuniya.
