OK, ok! I got the picture. As Kel mentioned in the comment to the previous post, Nick Lowry's book really is much better than any of the six that I recommended. The only reason that I didn't link to Nick's book was that for some reason, Amazon didn't have a cover image, so I figured my link would look shabby. Thanks to Kyle Sloan for sending me the cover image, so if you are interested in getting a great book on aikido - particularly Tomikiryu Aikido as we practice it, keep in mind that this is the best book out there.

I agree 100%! I'm reading it for the 3rd time through now. As a beginner, this book has definately been the most helpful for me in terms of a practical understanding of Aikido principles.
