The on-demand printed book tchan001 posted was ordered from the Kiseido website. So this is not something specific to ordering from Amazon.

It's ok, although the printing quality for that particular book isn't great. I can live with it. I have too many go books and I'm sure some of them will not be printed as well as others.

For what it's worth, I have the same printing of Close Encounters with the Middle Game, and although I am pretty finicky about book quality, I didn't notice any issues with it until I saw the pictures here and double-checked my copy. I've ordered books from major publishers (Springer Verlag, Oxford University Press) that were much, much worse. I write this not to leap to Kiseido's defense but just so people have an idea of what they'd be getting.
