Summary: Great Judo Book
Review: This book is very well done. The photographs are high quality action photos done by some great judoka. What distinguishes this book from some other books are 1) great action photos, and 2) practical application of the techniques. It goes through some of the finer points of setting up your opponent for the technique with fakes and off-balancing maneuvers. Overall one of two books I would recommend to every aspiring Judoka (with the other being Kodokan Judo).

Summary: Great work on grappling with the Gi
Review: This is probably the best Judo book on the market. Full of dynamic technique and loaded with good descriptions. This book breaks down all of the major throws of judo while also exploring judo's mat work. Having "Newaza" Sato on board really made this subject matter stand out tremendously. This book also contains a great section on combinations, and physical training. Any person who grapples with a gi should own this book.
My only complaint is that the judoka demonstrating the techniques are both wearing white gis this can sometimes make it hard to distinguish what is going on unless you already have a practiced eye for the material. It is a small complaint to be sure.

Summary: Competitive Kodokan Judo
Review: Top Japanese competitors and coaches took some of the most effective competition techniques and displayed them in details with some great tips. For example, in the book when speaking about the Harai Goshi (sweeping hip) they advise you to know that Harai Goshi is hard to execute since you need to get extremly good body contact in order to execute a throw. Guess what - when I kept that in mind in worked for me. When not - "I saw the lights on the ceiling". I like the section on ground techniques and combination techniques. I learned some nice escapes chokes this book.
I usually take one technique, and study it in detail step by step. This book is perfect for that. Finally, there is nice fitness section, and great essays by he authors on fighting and winning in Judo. This book benefits Judokas, BJJ practitioners and other martial artists who may need to learn grappling and throws.

Summary: From the basics to the very advanced, Best Judo has it all.
Review: When I wanted to be a Judoist two years ago, I was very impressed by the skills and and technique exhibited by the Judoists of my school. I badly wanted to be a good Judoist as I wanted to make my mark in the club. But the road ahead for me was very hard and frustrating. You see, having little or no experience whatsoever in the field or Judo or any martial art, I compared myself as weak and small with my seniors and the instructors in my club. Many times I wanted to give up, to quit Judo, saying that the sport was not suited for me, but deep down I knew that it was, and so I stayed on, trying very hard to perfect the techniques taught to me. I knew that if I trained hard, I would at last find the light at the end of my tunnel. To me, this light was the book, Best judo. I did not stumble on to it or find it by luck, I was searching for the BEST Judo instruction manual ever written and to day I still believe that the book entitled Best Judo was what I Had been searching for. This book to me was a godsend. It gave clear instruction in technique and skill. After being taught a new technique in Judo class, I would refer to Best Judo afterwards to refresh my memory on the throw and read up on the pointers and the things to look out for when making the throw. Night after night I studied the instruction manual and slowly but surely with practise I was improving, and boy was I improving! This year I was selected in the school Judo team and this was the bigest reward Best Judo hs ever given. To fight for the glory of my school in the arena of sports was indead a dream come true. Without Best Judo none of would have ever happened, and I am very grateful. So, if you are an avid Judoist or just a person learning Judo to keep fit, I urge you to buy the book. This will be the most rewarding investment "Judo-wise" you will ever make
