I would never recommend that a total noob jump into SNGs before learning to play LLHE. I'd start with Miller's book and a lot of playing micro limits games to get familiar with position, hand values, starting requirements, etc.

The way to get value from a book is to read it, play a lot, implement principles, analyse results, and repeat. And repeat. That list would take about a year to properly study, after weeding out a lot of it. (Forget McEvoy period, forget Ciaffone for SnGs, etc.)

There is much more relevant SnG content on this forum, albeit unorganized, than in any of those books.
