Writing a book on tai chi

Converting my largest website into a book proved to be quite problematic.
The principal issue is the fact that a website has no start, middle or ending.
All pages exist with equal significance, with the possible exception of the home page.
I spent a few months on The Hidden Strength of Tai Chi and a separate title called Rest.
The former stalled because the information is hard to convey in a linear fashion, and the latter was a no-starter because it seemed to be stating the obvious.

Writing a book

After deleting the Neijiaquan & Newcastle Martial Arts websites, I realised that the difficulties I experienced writing a book could be circumvented if I stuck to the A-Z format used on the websites.

Instead of seeking linearity I present a book based on A-Z.

Books

Since tai chi chuan was developed from the teachings of taoism, there is a significant reading requirement as students move through the syllabus.
It may be necessary to buy one or two books a year.
