Beginner's Guides:
	Winning Low-Limit Hold'em (2nd Ed.) by Lee Jones Our Review: Since its first publication in 1994, Winning Low-Limit Hold'em, by Lee Jones, has become the major reference on playing Texas Hold'em at the lower limits. If you play low-limit Hold'em, or would like to learn to play Hold'em, this book is for you.  It won't teach you a lot of advanced poker theory, but it will give you a solid foundation with which you can be a winner at low-limit Hold'em.  Read this book, study it carefully, and be disciplined: you'll be able to beat any 2-4, 3-6 or 4-8 limit game you join.
	Poker for Dummies by Richard D. Harroch & Lou Krieger Our Review: Despite its name, this book should not be dismissed as solely for novices.  It is an excellent beginner's book on poker, and has enough advanced strategies and concepts to merit inclusion on any serious poker player's bookshelf.  Covers Hold'em, Stud and Omaha, and has specific instruction and reference material for playing online poker.
	Hold 'Em Excellence by Lou Krieger Our Review: A top-to-bottom reference for learning to play hold'em.  Covers everything the low-to-middle limit player needs to know to play in a public cardroom.  Takes up where Winning Low Limit Hold'em leaves off -- important strategic concepts and how to identify leaks in your game.  Respected player Kenneth S.'s favorite poker book.
	Advanced Principles:
	Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth Our Review: This book covers advanced hold'em concepts for players looking to improve their game beyond intermediate skill.  Notorious for being awkwardly written, but anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gains experience against worthy competition will win as a result of this book.  Topics covered include play on the first two cards, semi-bluffing, the free card, inducing bluffs, staying with a draw, playing when a pair flops, playing in wild games, reading hands, and psychology.
	Theory of Poker by David Sklansky Our Review: This is the best book ever written about poker.  Period.  This book discusses theories and concepts applicable to nearly every variation of the game.  It introduces you to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker, its implications, and how it should affect your play. Other chapters discuss the value of deception, bluffing, raising, the slow-play, the value of position, psychology, heads-up play, game theory, implied odds, the free card, and semibluffing.  A bit dry (it is academic, afterall), but if you are a serious student of poker, this is a must read.
	Super System 2 by Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson, et al. Our Review: Maybe the most influential book on poker ever written (the first edition), this is the revised and updated edition of Brunson's classic poker text.  It covers tournament and ring game play of all the major types of poker played in casinos and online.  Brunson and his professional poker-playing contributors distill their decades of winning experience into a concise and informative resource.  A good all-around reference for any player.
	Caro's Book of Poker Tells by Mike Caro Our Review: Perfect for live games at casinos and poker rooms, this book explains in detail the concept of "reading" your opponent's tells.  While the photos are a bit dated, the concepts are not: the step-by-step explanation of how to gain information and the advantage by observing your opponent's behavior is what makes this book so good.  If you play live games, this is highly recommended.
	Poker Non-Fiction:
	The Biggest Game in Town by A. Alvarez Our Review: Called the best literary book ever written on poker by players and critics alike, The Biggest Game in Town is a sought-after classic that is finally available in print again.  Alvarez is a fantastic writer, and his account of the 1981 World Series of Poker is engaging and a page-turner.  Set in the gritty world of Las Vegas from days past, it is filled with stories about some of the legends of poker.
	Positively Fifth Street by James McManus Our Review: Author/reporter Jim McManus went to Las Vegas to cover the 2000 World Series of Poker for a national magazine.  It started as an account of the progress of women in the WSOP and the mysterious death of the owner of Binion's Horseshoe Casino.  But McManus, an amateur poker player himself, soon finds himself using his magazine advance money to enter as a long-shot in the WSOP Main Event.  Written in a gripping narrative, this book is an account of his experience playing poker at the highest level against the world's best players.  A great read.
