I have acquired about 21 hard copy judo books (and many PDFs) since my return to judo about 3 months ago, and find, as a relative beginner, that the best explanations of techniques are from the following:
I have to make clear that the LeBell and Sharp books do not contain the complete Gokyo, but I do not think that matters, as they explain the theory and practical application of waza (techniques) so well, and are so affordable, that it would almost be a crime to not buy them. Also, the Reay and Hobbs book is 1979 (maybe there were more recent editions or printings). This book contains mostly illustrations, but is very well done.
I should also say that I think that one simply has to have the 'Kodokan' Kano book, and certain others, too.
