I just picked up "The techniques of Judo" by Shinzo Takagaki and Harold E. Sharp. It seems really good. It's basic, but there are some very interesting things in the book. For example, there's a cartwheel guard pass. This was really surprising to me, as the only time I've seen such a move is from Sakuraba against Renzo Gracie. I assumed it was something new. But, this book was published in 1957. Score one for the "old boys". Anyhow, I recommend this book. I'm really enjoying it so far.
