    For hold'em I can recommend the "Harrington On Hold'em" books

    For tournys I have just bought "The raizers Edge" bu Elky and others, just working my way through it now but it seems to be pretty good

    What kind of level do you think you're at right now, Russ? Sometimes you might be recommended a book that's too basic/over the top, you see...

    You have WAAAAYYYYY too much time on your hands Aaron ;o)  I wrote a blog about books when I first came to the site.  Maybe you could find that too "A beginners guide to beginning"

    ARE YOU  UP TO THE CHALLENGE  (said in a Petter Sellers, Inspector Cleusau accent )

    This is good. http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ Free delivery some big discounts and large stock. Some good deals on Amazon too so compare the prices.

    Elky's is good if you're playing EPTs or loads of full ringed hi-stakes tourneys IMO Jock. Otherwise I'd ignore tbh. Don't think even Sky's big ones play to that level of thinking.

    As books go I'd say Phil Gordon's say a lot of good stuff. Just got his gold one but haven't read it yet. First two were good easy reads though.

    Winning poker tournaments one hand at a time 1&2 were excellent for tourney strategy without being too deep IMO.

    Don't know about cash, certainly not Hartigans other than very basic strategy.
