Occasionally you will find a link where you may still be able to purchase the referenced material.

The Tao of Tai-Chi Chuan Way to Rejuvenation Jou, Tsung Hwa ISBN 0-8048-1357-4 Published by Tai Chi Foundation, Fifth Printing in Taiwan May 1988 - an excellent book worth the search, Mast Jou has passed on and the book to my knowledge is out of print. If you find it buy it. If you find two copies send me an email.

The Tao of Meditation Way to Enlightenment Jou, Tsung Hwa Published by Tai Chi Foundation, May 1983 - you may have some luck these first two books were at one time distributed by Charles E. Tuttle Co. Inc. Rutland Vermont 05701

The Tao of I Ching Way to Divination Jou, Tsung Hwa Published by Tai Chi Foundation, Winter of 1983 - this one is still out there somewhere the trilogy is worth having.

365 Tao Deng Ming-Dao ISBN 0-06-250223-9 Published by HarperCollins Publishers, 10 East 53rd St. NY NY 10022 - this author has several other books to his credit that are interesting reading but must be taken to be done with literary license to make a point. This version of the Daily Meditations is well done - an easy read should be at your bed side for both morning and evening reference.

T'ai-Chi Ch'uan Body and Mind in Harmony (The integration of meaning and method) Sophia Delza ISBN 0-88706-029-3 hard cover 1985, 088706-030-7 (pbk) Published by State Unv. of NY Press, Albany - Sophia Delza is one of the first westerners to bring Tai Chi to the United States. Her students are legions and her teaching is outstanding. She is Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan. Good read, must have in your study of Tai Chi.

T'ai Chi Ch'uan For Health and Self-Defense Master T.T. Liang ISBN 0-394-72461-5 1974, 1977 Published Random House, Inc. NY. - it is the translation of the classics that brings me back to this reference time and again. Master Liang holds a candle up for us to see back into the past and understand what is being said. Widely published should be easy to find - perhaps a good starting place for your collection.
