Title: This book is not useful as an introduction to the game
Product review: The Game of Go by Arthur Smith is not a good choice for getting someone started in the game. The examples are of poor quality and confusing. Like the book by Lasker this is primarily of historic interest - it was written many years ago before good introductory books were available. Better to start with Go for Beginners by Iwamoto or the introductory series by Janice Kim. Also the beginning book by Cho Chikun. For teaching young children look at Milton Bradley's book (the go player, not the game company).
