Default Is this a good book collection??

Im trying to make sure I got my bases covered... I play hold em, Omaha and O8, and a little 7 stud and some H/L

Heres what I got:
TOP
HEFAP
SSHE
HOH1
HOH2
Super System 2
Pot Limit and No Limit Poker by Ciaffone/Reuben
7 Card Stud by Roy West
Caro's Book of Tells

Im thinking of adding Zee's split book...

Any other suggestions?

Looks good, maybe a psychology book, like Inside the Poker Mind.

Obviously Zee's book if you play any o8. Also TPFAP if you play tourneys.

TPFAP is a must buy if you play any tournaments.

In addition to Zee's split book, the others have mentioned:

TPFAP - Sklansky
Real Poker II - Cooke
Inside the Poker Mind - Feeney

You might also consider:

Limit Holdem
Middle Limit Holdem Poker - Ciaffone/Brier
Internet Texas Holdem - Hilger
How Good is your Limit Holdem - Jacobs
Weighing the Odds in Holdem - Yao

Big Bet Holdem
How Good is Your Pot Limit Holdem - Reuben

7 Stud
7CSFAP - Zee et al
SSI chapter - Reece
Greatest Book of Poker - Epstein

Omaha
How Good is Your Pot Limit Omaha - Reuben
Omaha Holdem Poker - Ciaffone
Winning O8 Poker - Tenner
How to Win at O8 - Capaletti

General
Improve Your Poker - Ciaffone
Caro's Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker
Holdems Odd Book - Petriv
Poker, Sex & Dying - Anderson
Other 2+2 titles

Among "Championship" series by McEvoy et al, which is a step down from the list above, these are the best:

NL & PL Holdem
New Players Guide to NL Holdem
Tournament Practice Hands
Satellite Strategy

The Omaha and Stud books are so-so.

Another book that covers the basics of a lot of games is Play Poker Like the Pros, if you disregard the limit holdem section.

I've heard a lot of good things about Roy Cooke's book. I was just wondering what the structure of the book is. For example, is it a traditional textbook style, essays on poker, hand examples etc.

Thanks,

PJS
