Re: Will my limit game improve?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm thinking about learning NL. I have some of the books (not 'Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I', I need that one I guess?).

The concepts are pretty advanced for a novice. Not that you're new to poker, just to NL.
A good place to start might be STTs. Just think nit early, LAGtard late, and you're pretty much a solid player.

I love limit and have absolutely no intention of quitting that game.

Me too. If only they'd repeal UIGEA and bring back the fish.

What I wonder is, do you think my limit game will improve by learning NL? If so, in what way?

Only if you think.
Thinking about poker helps all forms of poker. I think NL has more scope for thinking. You wouldn't write PNL about limit!
One big plus is that you gain more heart. If you are used to calling for your stack or your tourney life, calling for one bet becomes soooo easy. Even though you learn to fold a ton more in NL, when you come back, you are not a folder. You become much fiercer, much more aggro, much more willing to call the very small bets in limit.
