What type of Martial Arts books do you enjoy the most?

For me, it's books that deal with alot of martial arts/styles history...the older the history the better.

This topic, imho, ISN'T like "Sticky: Martial arts research library" that's at the very top of this forum because that topic asks for book titles. I'm asking for BOOK TOPICS!

:)

Mainly technical manuals at this point. Preferably ones that are drill heavy for specific skills.

Although I think there are some mindset books out there that should come first.

I like the manual the fighters are putting out with Victory belt the have excellent writers and photographers working with the fighters. Easy to comprehend and learn from.

Ones about arts or approaches to/applications of the arts which I am not familiar with. Most books are frustrating because they claim to be generic, then aren't.

I like the technical ones and the bunkai ones right now, plus those with some new and interesting drills in them.

I'll read just about anything, but unfortunately, I have to be a touch selective when it comes to buying, due to my lack of sufficient funds.

I really like to read on historical aspects of different styles and methods, and I also like applications-based stuff.

I love history books- but my 'collection' (as small as it may be) covers techniques as well. I don't know if I favor one over the other.
