Title: An oldie but goodie. Get a copy if you can.
Product review: This book has been with me for over a dozen years, the first book on Buddhism I ever bought. I have referred to it time and again, and re-read it several times. It is falling apart. It has a peculiar, dry tone and feel to it that I love. A little academic at times, it is nonetheless a valuable resource on the meditation techniques of the early Theravadin school. Unless one is prepared to actually learn these things directly from the Visuddhimagga or other such wonderful but difficult source texts, then this book can become an invaluable companion. Unfortunately out of print now, you would be lucky to get a used copy.
