Classical Ballet Technique by Gretchen Warren
This is an excellent book on ballet technique by Gretchen Ward Warren who is a Professor of Dance at the University of South Florida. She has also been the Ballet Mistress at American Ballet Theatre II. I have read this book myself and can vouch for its usefullness as a teacher. It is simple, clear and direct, and has plenty of photographs to illustrate proper technique. Great for the beginning or intermediate ballet instructor or for your dance library.
