These are my favorite books on Zen, all inexpensive and readily available.

	Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel The first Western book on Zen, it was written by a German philosopher who studied Zen through the art of Kyudo. Almost all recent Western writings on Zen refer to it.		Illuminated Spirit Conversations with a Kyudo Master By Dan and Jackie DeProspero The authors discuss all aspects of their studies under a Kyudo master in Japan. This is an outstanding practical book on Zen.
	One Arrow, One Life Zen, Archery, Enlightenment by Kenneth Kushner A tremendous recent book that explores the discoveries of the author as he progresses in Zen through his practice of Kyudo.		Zen Action, Zen Person By T. P. Kasulis A very thorough examination of Zen practice and teaching. It is the first book on Zen to be written by an American philosopher and deeply dissects Zen for a Western audience.
	Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind By Shunryu Suzuki An incredible collection of images and explanations of Zen teachings by a gifted and accomplished Zen master who established Zen in America in the 1970's.		Samadhi Self Development in Zen, Swordmanship and Psychotherapy By Mike Sayama A superb work on Zen in practice written by a PhD in psychology.
	Zen and the Art of Anything By Hal French An easy-reading book that uses imagery and quotations to explain Zen in everyday life.		Nothing Special - Living Zen By Charlotte Joko Beck and Steve Smith A quality work by an American Zen teacher that discusses solutions in Zen to the many mysteries and difficulties of the human experience.
