They're roughly the same I think, so I would start from beginning.

If you care about the games, the first book is
2000-12-04 - Against Yoo Changhyuk
2001-05-15 - Against Lee Changho
2002-08-03 - Against Yoo Changhyuk

and the second...

2003-03-25 - Against Lee Changho
2005-01-08 - Against Chang Hao
2006-09-01 - Against Lee Changho

The third not out in English is

2007-01-06 - Against Cho U
2008-01-24 - Against Park Younghun
2009-02-25 - Against Gu Li

Interesting to see his choice of opponents, essentially showing who (else) is top in the world around that time: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.j.s ... Table.html

If you can only get one of the books, I recommend that you get the second. In terms of the games and the analysis, both books are excellent, but...

I spent countless hours editing the manuscript of the second book, to polish the English. For the first book, I only became involved as a proofreader fairly late in the process and was much more restricted in terms of changes. So my opinion is that book 2 is better if you care about such things.

You are of course welcome to view this as a biased and egotistical comment and ignore this advice completely

There are sample pages available for the books on our website, so you can look at them and make up your own mind:

We're editing book 3 now, by the way, but it looks like it's going to take a while.

When is book 3 expected to come out? It's been a while.

I read all three books in Chinese and preferred the first, although they were all excellent.
