    I've found a free ebook via the Sandow site.

    Here's a book on physical culture and conditioning by the awesome George Hackenschmidt.

    Another cool thing i've found is some info on the Zbyszko brothers, one faced Gama, the other faced Helio Gracie.

    ALSO: could mods please check why this thread is not displayed on the WMA page, it's an awesome resource. http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109020&highlight=catch+book

    Cool stuff Zaad. I was never really into wrestling but there are useful things I've taken from the Farmer Burns (available free with a little Google-fu) manual and Carl Gotch's stuff.
