Although my copy is falling apart on almost every page, I enjoy reading this one for it's historical perspective. With quite a few photographs, and fairly good English, this is a very worthwhile book. I especially liked it's use of the Japanese terms for the techniques. One interesting bit of info out of this book was that originally Kuzushi was practiced to 6 directions, not 8, as the left side and right side were thought to quickly degrade to rear or front corner. This book is quite rare and hard to find, and it's probably not for everyone, but I recommend it if you can locate it.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE
The number of persons who practice Judo has lately increased considerably, but teachers are comparatively few. Some people, though they wish to practice the art, give up the idea of doing so, simply because they can not get a suitable teacher. Even those who are so fortunate as to get one can not take such lessons as they wish in it, because there are too many pupils. Under these circumstances, it is very likely that Judo is being practiced according to mistaken principles and by wrong methods. This is an extremely regrettable thing. The present book has been compiled as an attempt to make up this deficiency at least in part, and to give help to the pupils.
In this book, we have tried to treat of the general outlines of Judo in a terse and popular style, altogether avoiding difficult scientific theories and explanations. Profound knowledge is not needed for an understanding of this book; it is capable of comprehension by any person who has finished the primary school course. Many of the tricks treated of have been explained in the most careful manner - in such a way that the reader may easily see that such and such a trick should be applied when his opponent takes such a position. The relation between trick and trick, and the consequent innumerable changes of situation can not be anticipated. Therefore, how one can put one's antagonist in a position advantageous to oneself, how one can avoid such and such a trick applied to oneself, or how one can turn it to account, can not be explained by written words only. Moreover, when we come to the delicate points of a trick, since even spoken words are quite powerless to explain them, how much less adequate are written ones. Such things can be perceived only by telepathy. It is, therefore, our earnest desire that our readers should carefully read this book and digest it in order to attain to an understanding of these finer points by means of deeper study.
Some of the pictures in this book are reproductions of those taken by the Dai Nippon Butokukwai (Japanese Society for the Encouragement of Bushido), but most of them were specially taken for this book by the authors. The same wrestling is not illustrated in each case, and the readers are respectfully requested to refer to the numbers when necessary.
The principles set forth in this book are those of Mr. Kano, the founder of, and instructor at, the Kodokwan, and at our request he has kindly revised our copy and given us very valuable suggestions. We are very glad that he has so honored us, and we express our hearty thanks to him for his help.
In conclusion, we have much pleasure in acknowledging the help which we have received both directly and indirectly in taking the pictures from Messrs. K. Imai, K. Aoyagi, M. Tanabe, Y. Yamashita, H. Isogai, S. Nagaoka, H. Sato, K Samura, K. Mifune, K. Osumi, T. Karino, Y. Handa, K. Kuga, K. Yasukuni, A. Suwabe, all of them experts in the art.
