I second the "One of a Kind" Stu Unger book, Super/System one and two, say what you will about him but the Amarillo Slim book is entertaining, "Bringing Down The House" about the MIT blackjack team is very good, and you can't go wrong with the main "big deal" / "biggest game in town" / "pos. 5th street" / "prof. banker suicide king" combo either.

The Poker Essay books are pretty heavy, by that I mean that there's a lot of stuff to think about stuffed into a few pages. When I was reading them I found myself a lot of times just reading one essay, then putting the book down and thinking about what I just read for 15 to 30 minutes and rereading certain parts to really really understand them. I didn't find myself doing this with other books like TOP and SSHE. I suspect it might have to do with the wide range of ideas and uncohesiveness of the book jumping from one idea to the next. OTOH I guess your cousin has lots of time to rest if the books wear him out too much.
