For anyone buying books and anything else from Amazon anyway, if you could start here on your way to Amazon, it would be much appreciated:
Click on anything on that page that takes you to Amazon, do your shopping, and I get credit and a much appreciated kickback.
Thanks in advance
As for my recommendations, it depends what you are looking for, but for a beginner, the is good. The first poker book I ever read was by Ken Warren. I can't even find my copy any more, and I don't remember the name of it, but I remember getting a lot out of it at the time.
I ordered from Amazon the other day, and needed another to get the free shipping, so I ordered too. Haven't even opened it yet, but it was cheap, and from what I know about Phil, he knows what he's talking about. I hope it's not too basic and gets into some good stuff, but my expectations aren't exactly high...
