I really liked BJJ T&T by renzo and royler as a beginners reference but now I'm looking into something that goes into a little more depth and will help me improve my game from home as I cant go and actually train as much as I'd like to. Could someone please suggest some good books that don't overlap with techniques from T&T too much.

EDIT: strange screwup with post

Merged.

Best Judo is one my favorite all-around gi grappling books.

probably too much focus on throwing and not enough on pure groundwork for a typical BJJ student

almost anything written by a "machado" or a "gracie" would be worth flicking through in the bookstore

true but the only bookstore in my region contains precisely ONE BJJ book and thats T&T. I need to use amazon and I want to make sure its not ****,

I would suggest www.aesopian.com
