Daito Ryu Books - 03/06/07 08:47 PM
Here are a few Daito Ryu books that give some history of this particular Ryu. There isn't too much in English that I know of. Remember that everyone has a bias.
Daito-Ryu Aikibudo: History & Technique Book by Antonino Certa

Discovering Aiki: My 20 Years with Yukiyoshi Sagawa Book by Tatsuo Kimura (this is almost completly Japanese, I haven't read it, only flipped through it.)

Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu by Stanley Pranin (Pretty informative book, and probably the best one currently availible in English.)
http://www.aikidojournal.com/catalog/productdetails.php?code=dtr
Books about koryu (old school) JMA in general:
Koryu Bujutsu: Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan (in 3 volumes) by Dianne Skoss
http://www.fightingarts.com/estore/catalog_books_classical.shtml
And check out anything my Donn Draeger, I know he talks about DRAJJ in Modern Budo and Bujutsu.
Anyone have anything else I've missed?
