Books on Seven Star Mantis?

[ilhe4e12345]

Anyone out there know of a good series of books I can get on Seven Star Mantis? I want to expand my kung fu book reading and am really looking for a good book or two (or series) in English that is recommended? Anybody know of any?

I have so many good books on other styles that interest me, but I cant seem to find anything on Seven Star Mantis

A Hong Kong instructor named Lee Kam Wing wrote a book on Seven Star Mantis back a couple of decades ago, but I think it's out of print. Might want to check ABE or one of the other used book services.
Stuart Alve Olsen also wrote a book on mantis (more recently). It might still be available on Amazon.
Not much out there, I agree. Good luck!

Sifu Paul Eng has a couple Northern Mantis books out. I have the Spear Hand book and it's good. It has pictures, explanations and text in English and Chinese. I recommend it. Just search under his name at Amazon and his books should come up.

I always look at Plum Publications. Here's their mantis page:
