I recommend any of the books by the Gracies for the BJJ/grappling information. Also, check out the Research Library sticky: http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8082

I would recommend going to Amazon.com and searching around- I've found some pretty good martial arts stuff there.

"Chinese Boxing" by Robert W. Smith. Smith who's a Karate/Judo black belt describes his experiences learning Kung Fu from various Taiwan masters back in the late 50's through the 60's.

Smith has a unique writing style that can take some getting used to but is still a great read. The Taiwan masters (most of which have passed away) are quite opinionated. One of the more interesting accounts Smith recalls is John Bluming trading strikes with Wang Shu-Chin; both are well known in their respective martial art circles.
