The Essential Guard by Kid Peligro and Rodrigo Medeiros. Great book on the guard.

In ters of reading, I'd recommend Ed Beneville's books, Passing the Guard, The Guard and Strategic Guard. However, having said that, you need to keep in mind a proviso: they're supposed to supplement training, not form its basis. Especially for beginners, its essential to have an instructor present.

Unlike a DVD/book/video, an instructor can correct your mistakes (which otherwise you'll continue making and thereby entrain bad habits) and modify their advice depending on your particular situation: bodytype, experience, strength etc. Not to mention you could potentially injure yourself and/or others if there isn't an experienced eye supervising. So, your instructor should always be your first port of call if you've got a question: after all, that's what you're paying them for.

90% or so of the guys that post here are white belts and have made a thread on possibly anything you can think of. If you do a search for "problem opening guard" I'm sure you'll get a dozen or so threads with some decent information.
