Maybe you can find poker meanings hidden in both books 
Harrington on Hold'Em is mainly about MTT, definitely a good read. There are also sections of winning mindsets and strategic plays so of course that helps with SnG too.
I am also looking to get hold of Sklansky's tournament book, as his no limit hold em book was great.
I purchased this book and feel that it is well worth the price.
I have bought and read a LOT of poker books, and very few of them (if any!) are directed at the microstakes player.
While I find a lot of the "high level" thinking (in other books) very interesting from an intellectual standpoint, it just won't work against people at $2NL, $5NL, $10NL.
because most players at the microstakes don't think about the game like players at the higher levels do.
(this is why you get to see Hellmuth go nuts at the WSOP when some "idiot" does not respect his raise or 3Bets him or calls his check-raise or whatever.
Phil's peers know what Phil's bets mean. John Smith from Topeka doesn't and neither does Lars Larsberg from Jarlsberg.)
anyway, the point is, this book gives valuable advice that works at the micros, and Verneer proved it twice at FTP.
as soon as I finished it, I gave it a few days to sink in some more.
now I am reading it a 2nd time.
you are not likely to find a better book that addresses the game at $25NL and below.
I'm not even sure if there ARE other books that talk about $5NL!
PLUS - ITS SIGNED!!!!!

Didn't you know?
Within LOTR Tolkein embedded poker strategy.
Orcs are clubs.
Elves are hearts.
Hobbits are spades.
And Ringwraiths are diamonds.
It can change your whole philosophy and lead to a much bigger bank roll.
Haven't you heard of Hobbit flushes? elf straight draws? ace high orcs?

Whats the cost looking like?
Book: $49.95
Shipping: $11.95
Total: $61.90
(Prices are in USD.)
If you ship to a US address its cheaper, but I'm guessing around here that would only apply to US military. ♦
My reservation is that after shipping it's 2-3x the cost of other "similar" poker books. Still Verneer is a great author and an actual teacher and so far the reviews of it have been outstanding.

I played about 300K hands in that period and took some days off, so between 3000-3,500 per day. It averaged about 1,000 per hour 4-tabling the FR Rush Poker tables, so between 3-4 hours per day of play.
verneer it's just clicked who you are, I used to play with you on NL100 FR rush and also watch your vids on DC.
Are you doing a $100-$10k challenge this year?
GL with the book
