You can buy this book new at any Taoist Tai Chi Society center for $30. Why would anyone charge over $98? Greedy People, Be Gone! I have a copy of this book and have never used it. I understand it is a fair representation of the 108 moves of the TTCS set. However, nothing compares with instruction and being able to visually watch the move being done. This book will help if you are very new to Tai Chi and want to understand each move and have a "still" to work with.

I had the priviledge of working with Master Moy many years ago and this book is excellent as an assist in learning the Tai Chi form he created. I highly encourage those interested in Taoist Tai Chi to find a local center and take instruction from their great teachers. Nothing compares to personal instruction and this book will help the student reinforce the lessons you receive from your classes.
This book is also an excellent way for those who are familiar with Taoist Tai Chi to check the individual aspects of your set to insure you are in correct form.
I use the book in the latter sense. I was once a beginning instructor in Taoist Tai Chi but due to personal family obligations, was forced to relinquish the extra time I needed to met and practice with my local group. I still practice Taoist Tai Chi at home and use this book to refresh my Tai Chi set and insure I am moving in the correct positions that Master Moy once taught me.

I saw this book at my class so ordered it. It is exactly what I want.
