Life In 19x19

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.

Thanks.

To use youtube tags here just enclose the video id in them:

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:
