The Psychology of a black belt4
This is a good book. No pictures, just a fascinating exploration into the phases in training that the various degrees of black belt go through physically and psycologically. You don't need to be a black belt to read it. I opened the book in the morning and didn't put it down until I'd finished reading it. There are a number of amusing tales and the author clearly has the ability to make them amusing. Recommended.

Beyond the Black Belt not beyong high school2
Not really a book written for an adult audience. Nice perhaps for teenagers who have recently started training. Written in language that is accessible and comfortable for that age group. Very basic analysis of the advanced karatika mindset.. I have massive respect for the author as a martial artist, but he will not be challenging for the Noble Prize anytime soon.
