Hi, I see from
David Carlton's review that this book is a catalogue of invasion or reduction patterns.
There was an equivalent in french language : Lee Chang-Ho's Invasion and Reduction :
http://www.jeudego.com/catalog/advanced ... b2&x=0&y=0
I have not read it, but it is a collection of examples taken by Lee Chang-Ho from his own games, with a discussion for every example. I think it is aimed at dan players.
But if you are looking for the
theory behind invasion and reduction, instead of
patterns, you have
Learn to Play Go volume 4 - Battle Stategies, by Janice Kim and Jeong Soo-Hyun, that explains all the fundamentals for kyu players.
Then, for single kyu / low dan players,
Attack and Defense, by Akira Ishida and James Davies goes deeper.
If you are looking for common patterns, there is
100 Tips for Amateur Players volume 2, by Youngsun Yoon, that has some. It especially focuses on 3-3 invasions.
