I'm not sure whether it was Unoqie Publications or possibly O'Hara, but Micheal P. Staples wrote three exellent books on Hop-Ga and Bak Hok. White Crane Gung-Fu, Hop-Gar Kung-Fu, and Way of the Monk-Tibetan Kung-Fu,-not sure of exact titles. The White Crane book might be out of print. They had nice info on lineage, history, eight long hand, eight short hand, eight kicks, stances,applications, no forms however, but still a good addition to anyone's library. It also had one thing that I thought was really cool-it showed the original painting (tapestry) that the Blue Willow was taken from. In the original, it showed the burning of Siu Lum Jee and the birth of the Heavan Earth and Man Society. I don't know where he got it from, but it was facinating to see it, especially since I have the Blue Willow pattern on my dinnerware. It is a popular pattern that the Brits took and changed the details and put on everything, plates, cups, pottery, vases, etc.
