ZMQ (aka CMC) taijiquan book- a good read.

This book by Sutton details the physical and martial applications of the Zheng 37 posture form. The postures are very neatly hand-drawn, vary in size, and are clear to follow for the most part. I think Sutton does a real good job of explaining the ideas behind the postures- very clear. This is not a "flowery" book. Everything is presented in no-nonsense, martial, physical, and realistic terms. --Which makes it a delightful read.
