Excellent advice Mark. I can not begin to imagine trying to learn techniques from a book. So many times I'm struggling with a technique and sensei will say move your hand(s) to here and apply pressure in this direction and see what happens. It may be an adjustment of 1/4 inch or less but can can make so much difference. Those are things pictures just can't convey.
I too have always wondered why there are so many books out there with strings of photo's showing thechniques being applied. I totally agree with you Michael, how can anyone learn like this?

Spend the money you save from not buying 'pointless' books on mat fees, this is much better use of your hard earned dosh.

cheers,
