Books on Tae Kwon Do patterns

Themadhouse

Hi Guys.
I studied Tae Kwon Do for a good number of years. I stopped due to various reasons a couple of years back.
I want to relearn the patterns in my own time and i was looking for advise on what books to get.
I figure if i can get one that explains well that it will all come back to me or at least that is what i am hoping!
I studied with an AITA club but i think they are now ITF, open to correction on that!
I'm looking for books that will go up to 2nd degree black belt patterns as that is as far as i have studied in my younger years!
I have had a look around amazon and some other sites but i would prefer to buy some that have been recommended.
Any advice will be gratefully accepted!:D

I don't know about books, but I've found video's of the patterns on Youtube that helped my kid

Thank you.
I am looking for something to go from Chon-ji to Choong-Jang or Ko-Dang.
Alot of the terminology is different to what i have learned.
Does that particular book have diagrams as well as written instructions?

Pictures, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. Of course the diagrams are really floor patterns of structured movement.

There is also a very brief note of the "do" or philosophy of taekwondo for each poomse, but most of the instructors do not worry about that except when our Korean Grand Master visits and asks us esoteric questions.
