Could anyone recommend my a wrestling book suitable for beginners. I train in MMA and BJJ in the UK and although I have decent coaches for striking and BJJ I'm lacking any real wrestling training. I'm hoping to get the Greg Jackson books which will hopefully cover some stuff but a decent wrestling book could give me some real progress. Thanks. 
Randy Couture's, Wrestling for Fighting, is great for MMA. 
I dont know what kind of a learner you are, but if you are anything like me, books dont work very well. I would recommend "purchasing" some dvds. They explain the techniques very well and you can actually see what they are supposed to look like.
I would get a basic pure wrestling dvd to learn from. Dan Gables beginner stuff is awesome. Youtube has all kinds of shit.
^^^Yes! While looking up Randys book I saw that he also did a DVD for it...I plan on getting it.
Not a technique book but check out "Wrestling Tough" by Mike Chapman. Very motivational for young wrestlers( my 9 yr old is reading it) as well as their old parents. If your a sucker for stories of overcoming adversity and getting to the top through hard work you will enjoy the stories in this book.

The best motivational book for combat athletes that i have ever read.
"The Wrestling Drill Book" Edited by Bill Welker
- Probably my favorite beginner book that covers nearly all aspects and positions in wrestling, predominantly Folkstyle.
"Greco-Roman Wrestling" by William A. Martell
- I LOVE Greco-Roman, it was my favorite style of Wrestling when I competed and I still love watching it when the Olympics come around. Another great all around book for basic techniques, positions, rules and training.
I also have "Wrestling Tough" by Chapman and I have to agree with the guys above, it really is a good book, especially when trying to learn about the mentality of the top wrestlers in the U.S.
