Saxton Pope: Hunting With the Bow and Arrow
Maurice Thompson: The Witchery of Archery
E. Donnal Thomas: Longbows in the Far North
The above three are all great reads.
Newbies could get a lot out of G. Fred Asbell's books on Instinctive Archery.
The Masters of the Barebow DVD series are very educational.

Traditional Archery by Sam Fadala is a great read for the newbie. Sam also has a second edition out.
Sam covers shooting, setting up and tuning, all the different tackle, making arrows, maintenance, safety, and much more.

Shooting the Stickbow is another good read. I love the Masters of the Barebow for the diversity, although Welch's DVD's are great too.

I don't know if this would qualify as a rule breaker. If so I'm sorry, just sharing what a fine member shared with me. Here is a link for free online books.

Traditional Bowhunters Handbook by TJ Conrads. I'm new to Trad Archery, too and I have reread and highlighted topics in this book so often the spine is broken.

What are your TOP 3 books in the following areas. (or just your top 3)
If you can find yourself a copy of the tips Fred Bear put out on his record with curt gowdy(?). They are in Dick Lattimers "I remember Papa Bear". Very good tips for the newbie without being overburdnened IMO.
Top 3 books on Archery in general: John Schulz "Straight Shooting" Fred Bear "Fred Bears Field Notes" Glenn St. Charles "Bows on the Little Delta"
ALSO how about, Top 3 Archery DVD's: 1.)Rick Welch "The Accuracy Factory" 2.)Wensel/Mitten Productions "Primal Dreams" 3.) Any of the Fred Bear Films.
There are lots of other real good books and films out there. These just happen to be my favorites.
