This was the first book recommended to me as a tai-chi newbie, and I still use it as a base reference for questions I have about the art. Tsung-Wa Jou put together a deceptively slim compendium on tai chi exercise, philosophy, and the classics that covers the basics and introduces more advanced concepts, without locking the new student into thinking that "tai chi is the only way to go." (as opposed to bagua, xingyi or other internal/external arts)
If there's a criticism about this book, it will come from people who are looking for more combat application of tai chi. Apps are not discussed in detail here. However, push hands and sensitivity exercises are introduced and described, along with chi gong, meditation, and supplemental exercises designed to increase your understanding of the art. Read it and discuss the concepts with your instructor - you'll like how well it fits in with your training.
