  8.   Andy Nelson Poker A Winner's Guide
Perigee Books 1996 0399522123 Soft Cover Good 
This is a great book for beginners or players new to the game of Poker. This book provides sound advice and a great base to build your Poker game on. If your looking to purchase your first Poker book this one is an excellent "first" book. I give the book four out of five stars because it has sound content but lacks intermediate and advance stradgies. (There are other books for that once a player is ready) For what this book is (a good solid foundation) it's worth five out of five stars but it is by now means the ultimate Poker book.
