Let me begin by stating that you can order most books from Barnes and
Noble.Other books can be found in used books stores
Two great books you can order are:
1.Judo-formal techniques by Tadao Otaki and Donn F. Draeger,Publisher
Charles E. Tittle Company,1993.Great book.
2.Kodokan Judo by Jigaro Kano.

To this I would add Syd Hoare's "Judo" in the "Teach Yourself" series.
This is an unfortunate title, as one cannot teach onesself a martial
art. However, the book is clear and insightful with good
illustrations. It is excellent for a beginner's textbook. Good luck.

The books you list are all some pretty good ones. One comment, JUDO IN ACTION I & II (which I have) are as far as I know only paperback reprints of the hardback DYNAMIC JUDO books. Some additional books on technique I might suggest are:
BEST JUDO
Isao Inokuma & Nobuyuki Sato
Kodansha Int'l, ISBN 0-87011-786-6
A very good collection of techniques.
JUDO FORMAL TECHNIQUES: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE KODOKAN RANDORI-NO-KATA
Donn F. Dreager & Tadao Otaki
C.E. Tuttle Press, ISBN 0-8049-1676-X
A must for the serious student of Nage or Katame-no-Kata.
KODOKAN JUDO
Jigiro Kano
Kodansha Int'l, ISBN 0-87011-681-9
Produceded by the Kodokan, includes a lot of text by Kano as well as photos of several of the old 10th dans in action.
VITAL JUDO: GRAPPLING TECHNIQUES
Isao Okano
Wehman Publishing, ISBN 0-685-70712-1
An advanced "catalog" book of Judo grappling techniques, including strategy, counters and escapes.
VITAL JUDO: THROWING TECHNIQUES
Tetsuya Sato, 7th dan & Isao Okano
An advanced "catalog" book of Judo throwing techniques, including strategy, combinations and variations.
Three books which are out of print, but if you can find them, grab 'em are:
THE DEMONSTRATION OF GENTLENESS (JU-NO-KATA)
THE DEMONSTRATION OF HOLDS (KATAME-NO-KATA)
THE DEMONSTRATION OF THROWS (NAGE-NO-KATA)
These are all by T.P. Leggett and provide excellent coverage of each subject (the Ju-no-Kata book uses pictures of Kano himself doing the kata)
A couple of other books on theory/philosophy of judo are:
ALL ABOUT JUDO
Geof Gleeson, 7th dan
EP Publishing Ltd, ISBN 0-7158-0590-8
A comprehensive manual of modern Judo training techniques for competition, which also stresses the importance of kata, along with randori and shiai.
JUDO INSIDE OUT: A CULTURAL RECONCILIATION*
Geof Gleeson, 7th dan
Lepus Books, ISBN 0-86019-100-1
An advanced, in depth, discussion of the philosophy of training for competitive Judo, with comparisons of traditional and modern practices.
MODERN JUDO: TECHNIQUES OF EAST & WEST
Peter Seisenbacher & George Kerr
Crowood UK, ISBN 1-85223-570-5
A comparrison of traditional vs. "modern" styles of training.

There are two volumes Throwing Techniques and Groundwork Techniques.
Judo for Women By Roy Inman (Useful for male Judoka as well)

Yes, I've got those two in my collection, too. Very good books, giving
a lot of coverage to a limited number of techniques. That's not a
criticism, either. To provide a useful amount of information to an
advanced student, you really have to limit the number of different
techniques you can cover in one book.

Add to that book anything published by Ippon books, or written by
Yasohiro Yamashita. Each one improved my Judo.

I found three titles by this author:
Attacking Judo : A Guide to Combinations and Counters (Kashiwazaki,
Katsuhiko; Nakanishi, Hidetoshi; Cousens, Sarah (Tr.), Paperback)
Shimewaza (Kashiwazaki, Katsuhiko, Paperback)
Tomoe-nage (Kashiwazaki, Katsuhiko, Paperback)
All published by Ippon books.

chokes. They put out a whole series of books by different authors, all the
ones i've seen are pretty good. Mark
Desmond Chan
: I would suggest the book entitled "Textbook of Judo", by Nagayasu
: Ogaswara. It was published by the Kokushi Dojo, Inc 14 Main ST,
: Montvale, N.J. 07645.
For Judo ground-grappling (ne-waza), the best I've seen so far: Vital
Judo - Grappling.
For armlock and chokes, try Ippon Books series.

D Chan

It's "Fighting Judo", but "Vital Judo - Grappling" is even better ( I've
read both). Unfortunately, both are out of print.

There is also a book out by Gene Labell called something like Judo For
Ground and Street Defense. It retails for something like $15. I can't
tell you anything else, though, because I haven't read it yet. Any
reviews for this book?
Demon Wraith
Jigoro Kano founded...It covers the throwing techniques quite well..It
retails for about $20-24.00..This book is written in a concise, easy to
read manner and has some very good photo illustrations.
