    What book would you buy next?

    I have Professional Blackjack (Wong), Blackbelt in Blackjack (Snyder), Blackjack Secrets (Wong), and Blackjack Attack 3 (Schlesinger).

    What book would you buy next? I realize that there will be repeated material in all of them, but I like to buy others anyway because there is always a few pages or at least a few sentences that provide new information to me or maybe make me think about something differently. This, for me, makes them worth buying.
    Books that talk about cover are more preferable. I have been counting successfully for a long time so I get the math and the index plays. However, I don't have a lot of casinos in my area so anything that talks about good cover is valuable. What I have been doing so far has been effective in my opinion but if there were even one additional element of cover that I could add, it would probably be worth it. Note: I am aware of the cover plays in Don's book and implement them here and there.

    If you haven't done so already, buy the casino verite software. I recommend CVBJ, CVCX, and CVData. As for books, I recommend A Blackjack Life and Burning the Tables in Las Vegas since it seems you have a basic understanding of card counting.

    +1.
    Burning the Tables = cover.
    The Blackjack Life = fun read.

    Million Dollar Blackjack for some good info and also just good reading.
    My favorite is still Playing BJ as a Business by Revere since it was the first book I ever bought.

    The Time Traveler's Wife is the next book I'm planning to buy, since the original question wasn't APBJ specific. As for APBJ, I'd like to get my hands on Blackjack for Blood, since I've become an APBJ book collector now, and I've yet to find a "new" or "like new" copy.

    I'm also considering picking up Million Dollar Video Poker and starting my VP book collection.

    Behind the Black Dome is a good compliment to this book. Both books give the other side's prospective which is very useful.
