I agree with what others have told you. The IGT is the original book and basically examines the uniquely human trait of self-interference; that is, letting the mind interfere with what the body is already capable of doing on its own. Musicians and others have referred to this as the "Mind-F*ck Principle".
The IGM book simply applies this principle to some of the pitfalls of performance and practice. The original tennis book is the one to read...(I've read it, the music one and the golf one) even if you don't play or know anything about tennis, the concepts are easliy translatable to any facet of life.
