recommended book on self defense shooting

I just got this one and I've been reading parts the last few days and I'm quite impressed so far.

The book is Shooting to Survive: How to fight with a pistol by Timothy Blakeley.

It's kind of an encyclopedia of shooting techniques and it's pretty comprehensive. It does seem to focus on the Glock pistols to the near exclusion of other designs and the writing style is competent but a little dry.

There are many good books out on shooting techniques, and this one does plow over old ground a little bit, but my preliminary exploration would indicate that it's pretty damn good.
