If you plan to play in tournaments these are the books you want to read. Cash games are a different play than tournament play. These will give you an edge against other players.

Championship Satellite Strategy (Tom McEvoy, Brad Daugherty): Handling satellites is differnet from normal tournaments. Use this book to discover the differences in play. From two expert experience authors.

Kill Phil
Kill Phil (Blair Rodman & Lee Nelson): Alternative strategies for no limit tournament play. A new player can start winning quickly through a basic all in or fold strategy that frustrates professional opponents. The strategy removes you from post flop play against a master and puts the pressure on him. For the advanced player the book provides a better understanding of poker theory and odds.
Harrington on Holdem
Harrington on Holdem I
Harrington on Holdem I (Dan Harrington): Excellent book on no limit holdem play for tournaments. Lots of examples and great insight. This book should be read after the McEnvoy books.
Harrington on Holdem II
Harrington on Hold'em II
Harrington on Hold'em II (Dan Harrington): Excellent book on no limit holdem play for tournaments. Lots of examples and great insight. This book should be read after the McEnvoy books.
Harrington on Holdem III
Harrington on Hold'em III
Harrington on Hold'em III (Dan Harrington): Excellent book on no limit holdem play for tournaments. Lots of examples and great insight. This book should be read after the McEnvoy books.

Shuffle Up and Deal
World Poker Tour (Mike Sexton): I do not recommend this book to anyone except those that want to get excited about being in the World Poker Tour. The book is a giant advertisement why someone should play in the WPT. It offers almost no useful information to anyone that takes poker even semi-seriously. I felt ripped off buying this book.

Making the Final Table
Making the Final Table (Erick Lindgren): A look inside to what it takes to get to the World Poker Tour final tables. How you should play, guides on hands, players, tells, and Erick's experience. Good advise on playing hands against different types of opponents.

In the Money
In the Money (Antonio Esfandiari): Antonio's book talks about very general strategies, but nothing that an experienced player would get much out of. The book mostly gives you an idea into Antonio's playing style. A lot of the book is Antonio talking about himself and his experiences. The useful information within the book could be compressed within about 20 pages in my opinion with most not useful to starting players.
