Can anyone recommend me a tournament book please? I have read DS's TPAP but would like to further my reading.

I agree with code. I do not have the practice hands, but have recently read Champ NL&PL Hold-Em. It is not a "Here's what you do next" manual, and it does contain considerable color from the poker world. I think because of that it has received some less than glowing reviews on this site. I liked it, however, and felt that if you read for content, he offers some good insight into the play of NLHE tournament.

TPFAP, Sklansky, which you have, is required reading if you play tournament.

Poker Tournament Strategies, Suzuki (excellent thoughts on playing different types of tournaments, ie: reg tourn vs addons, etc.)

I have also found that Zen and the Art of Poker is particularly applicable to tournament play although it is not particularly about tournaments.

The new 2+2 Tournament bood by Dan Harrington will instantly become required reading when available, presumably December.

And a book junkie, too.

I liked Championship Satellite Strategy by McEvoy and Daugherty - especially for one table SNGs. They give advice for various levels and how you should be adjusting your game as you go along.
