In this book's preface, author Chihyung Nam takes pains to explain that this is not a second edition of her previous book 'Contemporary Go Terms'... but even though the format has changed and the number of entries increased, I cannot help feeling that this is the second edition of her prior book. [Sorry!]
Like most go books published in English, there is a smattering of typos. To be expected! But overall I found many nuggets of useful information embedded in what appears, on the surface, to be a go-specific multi-language dictionary [English/Japanese/Chinese/Korean].
The examples are well-chosen. I especially enjoyed the proverbs section. And each language has it's own index, keeping the book useful for cross-cultural communication between go players.
