The second book is called  "karate - technique and spirit by Tadashi Nakamura"
I can also highly recommend this book even though I am not part of his system.

Coming soon on this page will be Karate and Martial Arts Books that I can thoroughly recommend 
I will also give you the names of my favourite Martial Arts books.

I do not recieve any commission or payment of any sort for recommending these books.
As far as I know all these books are in hardcover (not e-books).
I'm also not sure if they are all still available, I guess you will have to hunt around for them.

Sorry for the bad photos- these are my personal books,  Grant

The first one I would like to recommend is called
  " The Illustrated Guide to Karate by  PMV Morris".
I can thoroughly recommend this book for someone who is starting out in karate. 
This book is getting a bit old now, but has some great references and quite a number of easy to understand illustrations.
