How anyone can get SSHE a bad rating and give Roy Wests book on Stud a good rating boggles my mind.

[TheJackal]

All the books I own:
Strategy related (1-10)
TOP - 10
Winning low limit - 6
Small stakes HE - 8
Inside the poker mind - 8
Psy. of poker - 8
Play poker like the pros - 5
HE for advanced player - 7
Harrington on Hold em 1 - 8
PL/NL championship - 4
Tournament for advanced players - 7

Non-strategy
Postively 5th street - 8
Biggest game in town - 7

Although I give Winning low limit a lower grade than small stakes, I would still recommend it before small stakes. Once gaining some experience, I'd say read small stakes. Play poker like the pros I give a lower rating because the limit section is a complete joke, although I'd recommend it for it's limit tournament and PL Omaha advice.
