Buy This Book:  Making Taiji Work for You

I have read quite a few Tai Chi, Bagua, Xing Yi and other martial arts books, but few are worth the paper they are printed on. Also, very few are based on anything close to the leaneages I study, least of all Yangjia Michuan. Scott Rodell has published books that focus on Tai Chi empty hand and sword practice that are excellent (see these) and I would recommend any of them. But nobody has put together anything resembling Master Hu's approach. Until now. Long time student and teacher Bob Leedle and his wife Jane have, after several years of toil, published a very complete and thorough volume covering a huge amount of information: "Making Taiji Work for You." This is a very detailed and practical text on body mechanics in Tai Chi, and how to make them work. It is not a form book, though it does contain a lot of exercises and drills. Contact Bob directly to purchase a copy and help support his labor of love.
