Kodokan Judo, by Jigoro Kano
 From the Amazon.com web site:
A comprehensive reference. Reviewer: bennetkj@wt.net from Houston, TX, October 14, 1999
Although this book is a comprehensive reference (which is the intent) it doesn't make much mention of training techniques, gripping, combinations or transition. If you want a reference text to find out what ashi guruma is, or what the next technique in the nage-no kata is, this is an excellent book. If, however, your problem is what to do to set up an opponent for harai goshi, this book will not help much. It is still an excellent reference and the introductory passages by Kano are worth reading.
One of the best ever!
A reader from Vancouver, September 28, 1999
A comperhensive work and all the technique are shown clearly. Excellent on every aspect although BEST JUDO has a slightly better section on groundwork. A must have for all martial artists.
Kodakan Judo is complete.
Reviewer: A reader from Colorado, USA September 23, 1999
If you are looking for a good book regarding judo, this book is a great discriptor of the art. it goes into the history, principals, basic needed knowledge and a very large number of technics. Recommended for beginner to expert.

Japan's Ultimate Martial Art, Jujitsu before 1882
by Darrell Max Craig
 From the Amazon.com web site:
A reader from Singapore, July 5, 1999
Great overview of Jujutsu techniques. I like this book from an Aikidoka viewpoint in that it offers a good variety of techniques, from a practical standpoint. I find myself coming back to the book every time I think about how to execute certain movements in real situations. A fun and instructional book to have.
Mark Barlow (barlowacad@mindspring.com), June 16, 1999
Jujitsu in an historical perspective. Craig Sensei has provided the jujitsu community with a look at their roots. An honest, well documented study of the golden age of traditional Jujitsu with a brief discussion and illustration of many of the lesser known techniques of Jujitsu.
patric@earthlink.net from San Antonio, Texas, February 5, 1999
A well written and informative book. Sensei Craig is very good at presenting Martial Art related material in a entertaining and dynamic manner. This book features some nice techniques and martial art related stories.
