Wow, nice! My Hsing-I teacher John Groschwitz is the translator for the Gao Bagua book. That'll be a popular one with many people...

This is the one to be excited about:

I wonder what this is about. His youtube channel looks like he knows something.

There is already a discussion thread about that book (Juice: Radical Taiji Energetics), if you do a search you should be able to find it, it was recent.
I'm reading it right now and it's a good book.

MIke Patterson's book has lots of cool stuff in it! THe best collection of Tang Shou Tao material in book form for sure.
If you read Hsing-I Journal, you've already seen a lot of it.
Looking forward to John Groschwitz's translation of the Gao book from the Tianjin crew, the Chinese version was cool but it would be fun to actually read it and not just look at the pics.

Mike Patterson's book is by far the most useful book on hsing i I've come across. Haven't checked the other two in the OP.

Very practical both in terms of big picture and detail of structure and application, and well written with interesting anecdotes to stop it being too dry.

Personally I find the step by step form choreography and ancient poetry in most books less than useful (maybe that's just me)
