Most people who find their way to a site like this must have a little TKD nerd in them.
Please give some of your books a mention, with a picture. It can be pure TKD books or related.
Stuart Anslow and Ciaran McDonald have written and published a few. Feel free to give them a mention if you like their books to.

This book is my favourite amongst the history books of Martial Arts. It's not directly about Taekwondo, but it describes the cradle of Karate and therefor also Taekwondo.

Yes that one is so good. All the extended stories in one book. Written by Stuart Anslow, who also have a profile here on TKDchecker

Here are a few books
GM Hee Il Cho's Complete Martial Artist books are the reason I chose Taekwon-Do over any other martial art. Bit of a life-changer there!

Hi to everyone. I am a martial arts books fanatic; I own more than 200 volumes. I wrote a brief guide four years ago at http://taekwon.com.ar/wp-[...]ARIAN2.pdf
Since then I have received new great books, mostly focused on internal kung fu and karate.
Having read so many, those at the top of my list are The Book of Martial Power by Stephen Pearlman (conceptual, a higher understanding of martial art technique), Tim Larkin's How to survive the most critical 5 seconds of your life (a friend lent me his video of Larkins weekend seminar almost 20 years ago, and it is a gem, somehow in the line of Blauer's work), and of course Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do. For those interested in joint locks, HwarangDo Defend Take Down Submit by Taejoon Lee is a small book very well organized with plenty of ideas. I am tempted to expand the list with McCarthy's books, or Dave Lowry's, or those of legendary TKD masters, but I will cut it here. Cheers to all!
