#1 AND #3 ARE EXCELLENT OVERVIEWS OF VEDIC ASTROLOGY, AND MIGHT BE THE ONLY BOOKS NEEDED BY BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS.

SOME OF THE BETTER TRANSLATIONS OF THE ANCIENT SANSKRIT TEXTS:

SARAVALI by Kalyan Varma, trans. R. Santhanam, 2 volumes AFA # V2514-034 and V2599-034. Excellent book on many aspects of vedic natal astrology.

BHRIGU SUTRAM by Sage Bhrigu (of the Bhrigu samhita/nadi fame), trans. Dr. Gouri Shanker Kapoor, Ranjan Publications. This translation contains commentaries and quotes from other famous vedic texts and this increases the value of the presentation.

For the bibliophiles:
