While I agree that no book can substitute the actual training, don't you think an appropriate book would be a great supplement, especially if you're trying to recall a technique at home and you have nothing to refer to (I found myself in such situation many times). If I could videotape the sensei, I would, but if I don't have that, having a book with a series of photographs for each technique looks like the next best thing...
That is why making your own booklets with training notes is so useful, not only can you read them back, you also have to make them yourself!!

Making your own booklets with notes is a realy great training aid, IMHO better than some book that offers prefab standards and ideas.

I like books and pictures and videotapes, I just wouldnot advice them to a beginner.
