I don't agree. I think the beginner can do a fine job of learning the
basics of the language and simple communication with TKD alone.
Certainly be aware that there is more stuff you can treat yourself
with later, but don't feel obliged to get it before you have a chance
of understanding.
I consider KGT the next best thing to get after TKD, but you certainly
don't need it: I became BG before I had read it! Next on my list
comes either cassete tape if you want to speak the language aloud.
