Which one do you think is better? 'The 2014 Ten-Game Match between Le Sedol and Gu Li' or 'Commented Games by Lee Sedol'. The first one is from Kiseido, and the second one is from Baduktopia.

I can't comment directly since I don't have the first, but I would say it's better to have commentary from the person who played the game than outsiders.

I have "Comented games by Lee Sedol vol 2" and it reads easily. I've read somewhere that volume 2 is recommended over volume 1 because they took more time for the translation.

I've ordered directly from Baduktopia via e-mail. They have great service and give discounts if you order a certain quantity, even if differents. (maybe 5 to 10 books, not sure)

And since it's not a sequel, I did not feel lost reading volume 2 first.
