The diabolo books you mention are by a chap called Donald Grant.
There are three in the series "Crazy Cradles and Baffling Body Moves",
"Stick Grind and Suicides", and "Two Hot to Handle" (the titles may
not be exactly correct but you get the gist). "Two Hot to Handle" is
the two diablolo book (obvious really :)) and is the best of the lot.
Donald is at the moment working an a new extra large book which hopes
to have everything in and more.  All these books are produced in the
UK.

Mr. Babache produces two vids "Diabolo Follies 1" and - you guessed
it :) - "Diabolo Follies 2".  The first is about 1 diabolo stuff and
is excellent, the second is about two diabolo stuff and is not quite
as good - but is v. good none the less.

Hope this has been helpful
