The Aikido Master Course: Best Aikido 2 is a book for advanced students. The pictures are excellent, the descriptions are brief, to the point, and on a level for students who have already mastered the basics. Very easy to understand. I know of no other single book that shows so many different advanced-level techniques. This is part two. the Part 1 book, Best Aikido is a book for mid-level students. Together, they are probably the most comprehensive, exhaustive, current, authoritative references for Aikido.

This book is an outgrowth of an earlier work. It is well-illustrated, and produced by the bona-fide lineage of the Founder, which gives it a definite Aikikai slant (although this is not a bad thing).

This is a good book for the beginner. It answers most questions and demonstrates the fundemental techniques. It is one to refer back to after/or just before a class. I recommend the first part to this book, as well as the third installment from Moriteru Ueshiba, they are both as good as this and combined make an excellent aikido reference.
