Brand new, faithful looking reproduction...
Brand new, faithful looking reproduction. This one seems to use a bit better and heavier paper than similar lighter reprints.

Very dense and not too basic
I have to say I like this book. It looks thin with its 172 pages, but covers a lot of information for all parts of game that may be interesting for beginners.
There are sections about openings, quite a lot about handicap go, tesuji, and endgame.
It is written in a form of numbered diagrams and descriptions for them. It is not as easy to read and to get into it you may need to read it several times. It seems to me to expect a bit more knowledge from the reader than what is available in go introduction books.

Written in a very entertaining style, from Lisp basic to advanced topics.
There are not many books about a programming language that are fun to read, but this is one. It shows developing programs from quite different perspective than what is common now.
In my opinion everyone should have at least intermediate knowledge of Lisp just to be a better programmer in any other language. This book takes one there and further.
Although mostly focused on Common Lisp, this book is even a very good read for Clojure or Scheme programmers because it shows what was in the "land of Lisp" since the times when Lisp was young and may enlighten some parts of the derived dialects.
I really appreciate the visible effort put into this book that is not seen very often in programming books, but hey, they usually target much more volatile languages :)
