Nice list!

fortunately you only spent 3 bucks on the Hellmuth DVD -- I've heard it's not so hot. The rest of your list is very good (except for last 2 which I'm not familiar with).

I've hedged my bets...

I own a gift shop that deals in poker items int. al. so if the DVD is below standard, it can go into my 'Sale' section!

The last two books were both recommendations, but South Africa is so starved of poker literature right now that just about anything will be devoured greedily.

Shipping is a bummer, though; adds 105% to the total...

Couldn't agree more. Well heres my book list

Harrington on Holdem 1,2,3
Phil Gordons Little Green Book
Poker Math made easy
David Slansky's Theory of poker
Poker for Dummies - won this one at a home game

Couple of ebooks too (which I haven't read yet)

Oh hell!!! one out of twelve...thats not good

That is an awesome book collection, I'm VERY envious!

It is my desire and intention to learn more about poker and to become a better player, which is why I came to CC a few weeks ago. However, some good books would be a very good route to build my knowledge so recommendations would be very welcome.

My interest (and therefore the books that would most benefit me) are limit ring games, currently low stakes (50c / $1). I have never played live (and have no desire to do so) so a bias towards on-line would be good. I would consider myself to be "advanced beginner" or "junior intermediate" (if that makes any sense) but would welcome recommendations from beginner level literature (just in case I'm not as good as I think) intermediate (which is where I think I probably am now) through to advanced (where I want to be).

Thanks in advance.

Boltneck

Thanks. Here is my updated list (yes, even more books!).

As far a limit books go, "Small Stakes Hold'em" by Ed Miller is an advanced book on low limit games (if that makes any sense). It's very very good, but if you want to start out a little less "heavy" he introduces most of the concepts in "Getting Started in Hold'em". Ciaffone's books are good too, lots of hand analysis and quizzes.

wow, that was a many books man.

i've got negraunus top 50 tips, which i really enjoyed and brunsons Super System, which i also really enjoyed

I'm amazed on how much material you guys have... My eyes would blow after reading 1/10 of it LOL... I'm winning approx. 7 out of 10 sit'n'goes I play (3rd mostly but hey... still fine!) without any special method or rocket science knowledge...
