Hi, First let me tell you that I really, really, like the content of that book from Fan Hui. Very nice book well suited for my DDK level... But... why placing the stones like that on the cover...

Well, they will certainly succeed in making Go players stare at their cover. |

Haha, just seeing that and imagining it were my book makes me want to lay some expletives out to the publisher.   Then imagining the possible feelings of Fan Hui makes my emotions go the opposite direction.   Ok, I'm just going to step away and solve some go problems or something |

BTW, that looks like a regression, the first 4 books of the serie have all the same image which is "correct"... So maybe the graphist just though that the stones where too close from each others...
