Amazon Summary
Go is a game that two people play with a Go board and Go stones. The players take turns putting black and white stones on the board to surround area, or territory. Whoever has more territory at the end of the game is the winner.No one can say really what Go is, how you should play it, what it ought to mean to you. That can only be a personal discovery, perhaps with the aid of a native guide pointing out the features of the terrain. Learn to play Go. It is simple, but it is not easy. It is worth the time you spend on it. This is to be expected of the best kind of game.

Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.
The Graded Go Problems for Beginners (http://www.amazon.com/Graded-Problems-Beginners-Beginner-Ele...) has four volumes of increasingly difficult tactical problems. For the strategic side of things, I enjoyed Janice Kim's Learn To Play Go series, which has five or more volumes (http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Play-Go-Masters-Ultimate/dp/1453...)

And, of course, with Go you have a nice progression from learning to play on the 9x9 board for tactics, the 13x13 board to begin learning strategy, and the 19x19 board to play the real game. And thanks to the handicapping system, you can play much stronger players with both of you playing your hardest and both with a chance to win.
