Book recommendation for the experienced player

Hello, I play $5/10 6-max and i'm going to be moving up to $10/20 6-max in the near future, so I am looking for books that deal specifically with middle limit and advanced play. My friend recommend King Yao's "Weighing the Odds," and I need another book so I can get free shipping =) If anyone can recommend one (or more if possible!) I would appreciate it.

I own the following books:

Theory of Poker
Small Stakes Hold'em
Hold'em for Advanced Players
Middle Limit Hold'em
Improve your Poker
Inside the Poker Mind
Psychology of Poker
Poker Essays I, II, and III

To partially answer my own question, this "Real Poker II" I just stumbled upon looks like a good book. Any others?

Yeah, I'd get that book for sure. Detailed examples of thought process from a solid player.

Real Poker II is excellent. King's book is good as well. I haven't read How Good is Your Limit Holdem?, but it's only $15, so you might as well get it.

Other than those 3, there aren't any limit holdem books worth reading at your stage of development.

Mason said that he's giving Barry Greenstein's book a 10/10, but it's more about poker psychology and tactics from what I hear. Barry Greenstein says it should help anybody move up a level from their current level. I plan on getting this if Mason thinks so much of it.

Sure, get Greenstein's book also.
