I have always found the proverbs of go interesting and informative. While of course we shouldn't follow proverbs like "when a single stone is attached hane" blindly, they provide good insight into the game.

So my question is, does anyone have any suggestions for a good go proverb book?

Thanks

The best one is sadly out of print and will not be reprinted, Go Proverbs Illustrated.

Try getting a used copy on Amazon

Go is such a beautiful game.

Nihon Ki-in Handbook Vol. 1: Proverbs is very good.

Yet another reason why we need sensible, equitable copyright laws. Copyright was originally supposed to be a very time-limited thing, to allow creators a temporary monopoly window so that they could profit from it. Now it's just about locking things away forever.

In this case it won't be forever. I don't know the exact date when that book's Japanese copyright will expire, but I think its ~9 years from now.

Hopefully the go proverb book by a well known English author that's been in the works for many years will be completed long before then.

In any case, it's not too hard to find used copies of Go Proverbs Illustrated.

I also like this.

Maybe have a look at "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu... and at chess quotes! Many apply to Go.
