The book you're looking for is "Sklansky on Poker", which is "a combination of Sklansky on Razz..." and something else.

SOR/SOP is clearly the only complete book on the game. There are good (but brief) chapters in the original SS1, Championship stud, Championship tourney poker, and the new FTP strategy guide. I've read all of these, and all have their good points and their bad. One of the major problems with SOP is that it describes how to play in tight/nitty games with a few bits of advice on how to adjust when the antes are large and play opens up a little. Problem is just about any game you find today will be loose, and most have a high ante type structure, so if you play "by the book" you will beat the fish but not the really good players.

Luckily there are very few good razz players.

SGspecial and I had some interesting debates on this topic before, essentially we disagree as to what is found within SOP, yet agree on its worthiness. IMHO David's style is to not spoon feed his readers yet this book was written so well that it comes across as if he was providing a total map to the game, however anyone who takes the time to make notes as they read the book and understand why he makes decisions based on the size of the pot and game texture should become an expert at the game just from reading SOP - the shortcut is to find the conflicting examples and evaluate why there are conflicts. In each situation you will learn a hidden secret to the game that allows you to adjust to game texture, player types, and pot size.

Also there are a handful of very good posters in the Stud forum, read their posts religiously. SGSpecial and I are two of the more prolific ones but there are others who really get the game as well. There are also a few traps, posters who adjust the game to fit their style but dont realize they are making long term mistakes by doing this - over time you can easily figure out who is who.
