    Default Discovering Aikido: Principles for Practical Learning

    Don't know if anyone is out there but ... my first post here in years.

    I recently uploaded my entire book Discovering Aikido: Principles for Practical Learning to my website. I stuck it in the E-Budo bookstore section of this site but thought it might merit a mention here since it is about Aikido after all ... so ... sorry about the double posting ... if anyone is watching.

    www.discovering-aikido.com

    My publisher decided not to reprint etc - cited recession, low volume book sales, etc, etc, so I got the Rights back. I was thinking of looking for another publisher but gave up so here it is. I have added some parts here and there, and have yet to sort some of the pictures.

    Can't be many entire books out there online ...

    Not that many aikido books, but for books online, try Google Books. They archived Harvard, UC Berkeley, and a couple other libraries. Millions of books, all in one place...

    But anyway, yes, the Internet is a nice place to stick books and articles that are otherwise collecting dust in your drawer, and it takes up less physical space on your shelf.

    Would it be possible to have a PDF for the book? I have not found one on the website and I believe it to be the most useful format for book sharing.

    Sorry - no PDF. It's all there in simple html :-)

    Just wondering - is there anybody out there?

    Is E-Budo alive?

    Feel free to comment on my book or something.

    Hi Rupert,
    E-Budo is alive and under new ownership, and operating in a new version of the software.
    As for participation, people are just finding out that the site is back and gradually returning or signing up for new membership. Traffic here is increasing every day.

    As for your book, re-posting this thread has put it at the top of the pile, so maybe some people who've read the book will notice it and pop in for a discussion.
