How many people here supplement their training with either books or dvds or both?

I thought maybe people could share their opinions on certain books and dvds (what they thought were good, which ones to get, which ones to avoid, etc, etc). If there is already a thread out there for this feel free to delete/move this one please.

I recently purchased "The Guard" by Ed Beneville and Moriera. They also wrote "Passing The Guard".

I just got this book but it come with great reviews from Amazon.com buyers so I thought I would give it a try. Full of illustrations, focuses solely on the guard. Starts from fundamentals (exercises like shrimping, the snake move, etc) and then goes by section (escapes, sweeps, armbars and stacking, chokes, etc).

Like I said, I can't really give a full review as I just got the book, so has anyone else gone through this one? If so, what did you think?

I love dvds for additional ideas. Barret yoshida's "submission grappling" is pretty cool. I also recently picked up a Kazushi Sakuraba seminar dvd- all in japanese but simply a great dvd as far as the "little things" go.
