How would you compare that Encyclopedia of Go Principles book to First Fundamentals? I have Strategic Concepts of Go which I think that book is based on
Encyclopedia of Go Principles is not an encyclopedia of go principles but a selection of ca. 100 statements, of which some are proverbs, shape advice, principles. If it were an encyclopedia of go principles, it would include, e.g., the greater number of principles in Joseki 2 - Strategy, which describes quite a few more strategic concepts than Strategic Concepts of Go.
The name of First Fundamentals is its program: its principles are basic. If your rank description is accurate, the book might be too easy for you.
Encyclopedia of Go Principles, First Fundamentals and Strategic Concepts of Go have very little in common.
The joseki chapter of Fundamental Principles of Go amounts to a partial selection of principles in a part of Joseki 1 - Fundamentals.
