Stereotypes
Everest Poker thinks they have something to say about country specific player stereotypes. The whole thing sounds fairly ad hoc and not really very rigorous. In fact, the more I think about it the weaker the whole thing looks and I'm wondering why I'm even posting this.
Getting the Best of It is David's personal favorites among his work. It's a very basic book, covering some poker, some general gambling, some biographical stuff about David. It's his attempt to convey the idea of how to get an edge in a gamble. He does a pretty good job of it. A really good book selection for beginning gamblers.
I have a signed edition, it was a gift from David.
If you're a somewhat experienced poker player and have a stronger than average background in mathematics, then Mathematics of Poker is for you.
If you're relatively new to poker and don't have any background in mathematics then you might be better with a more basic book on simple probability applications to gambling like Sklansky's Getting the Best of It
