    Don't know how experienced you are, but if you've done any homework at all and are mostly a holdem player, I would say skip Super System for the time being. It's a huge book with alot of games in it and costs the same as 3 other books.

    Harrington's good obv, I also like Eric Lindgren's book which is not a book that's usually talked about. The type of books you should go for depend on your skill set. If your primarily an online player I heard that Rizen's book is pretty good too.

    Just decided to ramble....sorry.

    The Rizen, Apestsyles, PearlJammer book (winning tournaments one hand at a time) is the nuts.

    I am slightly biased because PearlJammer is my hero, but its was a great read.

    I think most books will give you a general strategy for live play. ALl the books that are out now are usually outdated for online play. Its a totaly different game.

    This^^^especially good for online. Also, Gus Hansens Every Hand Revealed and Harrington's. You can't go wrong with any of these.

    I also liked Gus Hansen's book. I found it a little more entertaining than just teaching. It was neat to see his thinking behind each hand.

    Arnold Snyder's Poker Tournament Formula 2 is the best book I've ever read on poker and highly underrated.
