Books on Muay Thai

[Chindah]

Hi guys n girls,

A friend of mine has a B-day coming up, and would like to get them a book on Muay Thai. One that focusses on history etc., not really one with 'how to learn MT from a picture'-type of stuff..

I found lots of books on various sites, but the descriptions aren't too clear.
Does anybody have any suggestions, or know of any good books?

Thanksfor giving it a think!!

"Muay Thai : the most distinguished art of fighting" is the book that stands out the most.. has anybody read it? Any good?

I enjoyed both that one and Muay Thai: A living legacy. Legacy leans more towards a coffee table book in that it has lots of full page colour photos. Pedro's book has lots of good information on camps in Thailand and strategies.

Thanks Octavious!! I'll keep that in mind!!

Is there anyone else who has read / heard about these or any other books?
