So is it worth the time of a nl player to read 2+2 books geared towards limit play?

I think they might help in that they provide good general poker background and good application of general poker theory to particular situations. This information doesn't hurt. However, the limit books won't help directly with NL play.

For example, SCSFAP is a great book on limit stud. It provides lots of good information about poker in general. It won't help your NL game much, although it might help you think about poker situations better. There are many books out there that I believe are likely to provide greater direct benefit to NL play.
