I'll start by saying that, bar none, this is my favorite poker strategy book of all time [note: while the book is split up into two volumes and sold as two books, it's essentially one text that got split up simply because of the length, so I'm just going to refer to it as a single book]. When people ask me to recommend poker books, this is always the first one out of my mouth, even if they're not looking to learn about tournament play. My opinion is that this book will help you think better about poker - that's how well it's written and how much depth it provides.(parttimepoker.com)
