Don't know what book to read next? Have a killer reading list for improving joseki knowledge? This is this place.

As a relatively new player I don't plan on getting a joseki dictionary for awhile yet (perhaps 38 basic joseki soon, but that's just to get me started), but when I do, would you recommend this new version over the 3 Ishida volumes on Kiseido, or should I perhaps get both? lol
I came to go through Kawabata and was introduced to a whole new world.

I'd be very happy to keep both.

Obviously, I haven't seen the forthcoming books, so I can't comment on those. But if you are approaching SDK and/or are itching to study joseki this winter and the new books are still unavailable, I would probably grab Ishida's and a good game database.
