If I only get one poker book this xmas...

Any suggestions, haven't read any apart from a little pocket Hellmuth book which was very basic. I wouldn't call myself advanced by a long shot but definitely think i know what I'm doing, want to move on to the next stage, what books would you recommend?
Cheers.

That's a limit book as far as I know. No use to anyone around here.

max_power, an alternative to Harringtons books would be Phil Gordons Little Green Book. Generally covers the same ground, but is more concise.

If you play NL cash games, then the best technical book is definately No Limit Holdem Theory and Practice by Sklansky and Miller (as mentioned by Lloyd). I wouldn't rate it as a beginner book, though.

I'll be generous. 24 hours to post here and tell me you have nothing to do with the book or the site you mentioned. Suspicious I know but you get that way here.
