Lee Sedol apparently published a Go book for beginners, according to this tweet by the Russian Go Federation.

The cover is nothing short of awesome, I just love the humour it shows:

Below: Apparently the less colourful original (i.e. mostly another placard instead of the {assumed} book title on the pillar), less cropped. Right-click and “open in new tab” for full size!

Hi Tom,

Interesting that the artist (or book publisher, company) chose a wide-angle camera view (of AlphaGo-droid, presumably).
Would be fun if they picked AlphaGo's shoulder hit moment. :)

Could someone translate the big yellow sign (book title ?)
and the new red text on the edge of the table (publisher?) -- thanks.

There also seem to be more than two references in the image (also look at the hidden uncropped image).


Please list:

The placard text on both images is the same and says "Yi Se-tol's baduk primer, the easiest way to teach yourself."

The caption on the board is a bit too small on my screen but seems to say Dongyang Books.

Here’s a thread on r/baduk about this … I can’t remember anymore whether it was there wherefrom I started to search for the original, or from that tweet mentioned in the OP:
