The game of go is a wonderful board game. It developed more than 2000 years ago as weiqi in China, migrated to Japan around 700AD where the game reached a very high standard and recently is also very popular in Korea, where it is called Baduk.

In the Western world it is only played for 125 years, but in those years many acid players have tried and are trying to popularize the game. Their efforts were, though not immediately successful, not in vain. Go is now played in more than 60 countries around the world.

This bibliography gives and overview of all the go books published in the West or better, written in other languages than Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Our aim is to provide a basic tool to anybody involved in research on the history and bibliography of go in the Western world and for the serious collector.
