In my opinion buying Wing chun books will only confuse you in terms of the art, find yourself a good sifu (rare as hens teeth) and focus on their teaching.

I would say wing chun books are great as a reference tool and can help to enforce certain ideas. I would say they are useless if you have no teacher but if you study the art they aren't so bad.

Useful to some acute degree:

wing chun compendium - wayne belonoha

Simply Wing Chun Kung Fu - shaun rawcliffe

Simply Wing Chun by Shaun Rawcliffe is a good reference book. It is a very good reference guide. But as the others say its useless without a good Sifu to really teach you. The priority is always to find a good Sifu.

I find certain books good reference and note providers for when you are away from your Sifu for a short or long period of time. It is good to have these and study principle opinions from different Wing Chun instructors/authors. But remember, if you COMMIT too much to a book (or anything in life) and neglect the other aspects of training in your Art...... you can become OFF BALANCE (off Center)......
