Default SSHE, worth it?

I'm sure this has been posted on here before (I'm a lazy searcher), but I was just wondering is SSHE would be worth the time to read. I have read Jones' low-limit hold'em book, and read most of Malmuth/Sklansky books, like TOP, and HEPFAP. I also lurk on this site for low-limit strategy quite often. Is there anything really special in this book that I would not gather in these other books/resources? I have heard nothing but good things about this book, but I am just curious if there is anything new in it for me. Any thoughts?

Only if you want to make more money at the tables, otherwise pass.

The strategies in SSHE and HPFAP are different, and are appropriate for two different types of games. There have been many long threads about this, and about the differences between SSHE and Jones' book.

Not worth it. I want my money back on the 3 copies I already have. One for my office, one for my car, one for my desk.

In the interest of my continued profitability at the poker tables, I must recommend against anybody buying this book. I think you should buy up all of Ken Warren's books instead and memorize their every word.

I also reccomend you skip it if you will be playing against me.

I'd prefer you to play weak-tight.
