Default What Poker Book Should I Get?

I've never read a poker book, but I'm planning on getting one soon. I'm a LIMIT holdem ring table player, so I want a good book for limit holdem cash game play. I usually play $3/$6 and $5/$10 online.

I know Lee Jones has at least one Low Limit Holdem book. Are these any good? Are they just for micro limits or for the mid-level limits I play? Are there any other good books on limit holdem cash game play? Also, I'm looking for more of an advanced book instead of for players just starting out in limit holdem.

Small Stakes Hold'em is the best book for lower stakes, after that I would suggest the limit hold'em chapter in supersystem 2 by Jennifer Harmen.

ok i like the stuff in the SS books on limit but then you are paying 20$ or so for 100 pages that is actually quite large print and are not interested in the rest of the book (other games etc) there might be better buys out there.

Sklansky has written limit specific books (i have not read them)
in the Championship series by T Coultier (well something like) There is a tournament LIMIT holdem book and I think (not 100%) a normal limit book. I havent read either. For the few tourneys of Limit holdem I play the stuff in the SS books is enough for me.

I am however thinking about getting the limit tourney book as I do enjoy limit tourneys from time to time and whilst I have had some big successes at them I still feel there is lots of scope for improvement in my game (my instincts are sometimes good but they are not supported with detailed tourney theory for when the insticts are not working). So if anyone has read this book feedback would be good.

I liked "Phil Hellmuth's Texas Hold'em" Its basically about limit hold'em and the same stakes your playing $3/$6 and $5/$10. Has a beginer, intermediate and advanced chapters.

THF Player of the Year
Holdem on the come by Rolf Slotboom (a Dutch guy) is a limit book about drawing hands after the flop (in 262 pages). I didn't read it , I got it for free when I made a deposit at Rob Hollink's (another Dutch guy) pokerroom.

Here's a little info:

In this innovative book Rolf Slotboom and Dew Mason provide a comprehensive guide to playing drawing hands after the flop in hold’em. Their methodical approach to playing ‘on the come’ will provide you with a thorough grounding in post-flop play, enabling you to make the correct decisions in determining whether or not you should remain in the hand.
