Three Club Juggling: An Introduction
by Dick Franco
A good book about club juggling tricks. While it includes a terrific collection of historic juggling photos, it could stand to include more illustrations to describe the tricks in it. Still, it's worth having in a jugglers collection.

The The Klutz Book of Magic
by Mike Stroud & John Cassidy
Like All Klutz books this one is written for kids, but... I've yet to find a juggler of any age who isn't going to like this one. Includes instructions which focus on how to perform the tricks, instead of just the mechanics of doing the trick. Comes with five props - A ring, a string, a magic silk, a rubber dam, and one more that's a secret tool of magcians worldwide!
