Mike Caro\'s Guide To Super/System
Forgive me for asking a question that may have been asked before, but is Mike Caro's Guide to Doyle Brunson's Super/System a useful supplement or not? I know it's out of print, but I have found a copy available and didn't know if it was worth picking up or not.
And while we're at it, any other OOP poker books worth looking for?

If you can find "According to Doyle", in a used bookstore, I would buy it - it is a collectors item and OOP. The book was republished as "Poker Wisdom of a Champion". It's a fun read, and I actually did learn a lot of things that helped my NLHE game.

I thought Doyle's book was very entertaining, but I'm somewhat concerned that it is fictional and ghostwritten.

I haven't read it, but its very difficult to put too much stock into Caro's writing. Mostly, it just seems that he is out to make a buck by any means necessary. All of his book descrptions (and a lot of the content) read like get rich quick pamphlets, and too much of his "research" is pseudo-scientific.
For an example, check out the parts in his book of tells when he tells you how much the tell is worth hourly. I truly wonder if he just made up those dollar amounts.

This booklet is readily available at the Gambler's Book Club.
http://tinyurl.com/7kqja Can't vouch for it's quality though. I've browsed it several times but never actually bought it, so I cannot comment.

Caro's guide to SS1 is very good and well worth buying. He expands on many concepts regarding both the games and bankroll management.

Re: Mike Caro\'s Guide To Super/System
I've read it, own it and found it moderately useful. It seemed to expound and emphasize certain points in Doyle's book. It struck me as more useful when I hadn't read like 20 other books.
