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 [ext] Amazon Japan and [ext] Kinokuniya.

Reviews

Lynx: This book is great. It forces you to extend your reading to envision what will happen later. It does so in an enviroment that makes it natural. Everything is straightforward and quite doable if you keep your eye on the prize and focus.

Anonymous: I credit this book along with lessons for taking me from 3k to 2d.
