Read this in college when some friends started playing. I found it a great intro to the game but sadly have not played at all in recent memory. January 1960 Dover edition, same cover.

This is a fine resource to learn the game Go. Most of the books I have found that teach games are very dry and this is no exception. They are better if you have a board in front and follow along.
