Have you ever learned to play a game from a book or an article?
Which one? How did you do it? Why did you learn it from reading something, and not any other way?

Replying to
not exclusively books, but when i was into go i read a lot of go books and they were very helpful. go has a really steep learning curve initially and books introduce a ton of useful non-obvious concepts for thinking about how to play in the various stages of the game
go books also have a lot of exercises which is great, and i read them electronically in an app where you could play the exercises in the book (each one is a little board that the app treats as a game board) which was really convenient. everything should be like this

Same experience with go, especially because there was next to no one around to play with when I learned
Nowadays there are lots of good english language video resources for learning go too
