Agree, however personally I've found the following books pretty good:

Winning Karate by Ticky Donovan &

Karate Fighting Techniques: The Complete Kumite by Hirokazu Kanazawa

I've got just shy of 100 books in my personal collection, around 15 of them are in regards to Kumite/Sparring

It depends on what type of sparring you wish to do!

Specify the Rules and we'll try and assist

I remember seeing a book on Amazon for Goju Kumite not so long ago!!!
