Default PL Omaha High - recommend some books?

I've just started to take PLO a bit more seriously and would like to read as much as I can about it. Problem is, there don't seem that many books on it. I think I've read all the most regularly recommended books, and would like some recommendations of books that are good but maybe lesser known. Just to clarify - I am only interested in books that will help me with PLOmaha (i.e. not O8B).

Here are the books that I have already read that have at least some parts in them relevant to PLOmaha:

Ciaffone, Omaha Hold'em
Reuben, How good is your Pot limit Omaha?
Reuben & Ciaffone, Pot Limit and Not Limit Poker
Reuben, How good is your Pot limit Omaha?
Ciaffone, Improve your poker
Mahmood, The science of poker
Helmuth, Play poker like the pros (yes, I know...)

Only the first two books are 100% concerned with Omaha, and only the 2nd one is 100% concerned with PLOmaha. Not exactly an exhaustive list is it? Are there any lesser known gems out there that I should read?

How was this book? I've been thinking of possibly getting it myself.

It's good if you like that sort of book (test yourself style). I liked it anyway.

Nice one m8. I actually had these printed off already and had forgotten about them. Thanks for reminding me. I might actually read them now...

In addition to the websites suggested in an earlier post, you might want to check out some of Rolf Slotboom's columns. PLO is one of his main games. He writes for CardPlayer and an archive of all CardPlayer columns over the past few years are available at www.cardplayer.com

Slotboom also has a website that might have more PLO info. I don't have the address handy but I bet Google can find it.

Bob Ciaffone also writes for CardPlayer and some of his past articles probably deal with PLO.

I don't think you've missed any major PLO books. I think there's a chapter on it in the new SuperSystem, but I haven't seen it.

How good is your PLO is a very good book. Style is a little annoying, but the content is excellent.
