Default micro limit/ small stakes no-limit texas hold\'em books

I'm currently a 1/2 limit player and thinking of starting a bankroll playing no-limit. Any suggestions on which poker book(s) to purchase so I can make a transition to no-limit?

Harrington I is designed for tournament play, but because it covers the early stages its advices can be used for ringgames, too.
TOP a must read.

thanks for the reply, I've read TOP and I do intend on reading HOH, but I'm looking for a book geared specifically on no-limit small stakes.

There is no such book in publication, as far as I know.

Moreover, this is the wrong forum. You'll get better replies in the right forum.

OK, this is going to sounds pretty thick so forgive me but how does micro-limit no-limit work in a ring game? If there is no limit then what is to stop someone betting large amounts and so making it not micro/small? Is there is limit to the buy in or something?

Yeah .. micro nolimit is fx tables with 0.05/0.10$ blinds and a max buyin of 10$

Online NL tables usually have a max buyin for 100BB

Ups .. that is my native language shining through .. In Denmark we use 'fx' as short for 'for example'

russell fox book is pretty comfortable with 4-5 callers (5-6 to flop alot) ahead of them.

problem with harrington and gordon "little green" is that i don't think they personally ever play in games where there are 4-5 callers. or if they talk about it, it's half a page.

one thing the other person mentioned is something i thought of. i think when the blinds are really small, then the raises are usually much bigger in relation to those. fox' book doesn't get into that.

miller SSHE type book for no-limit is supposed to be out in 3-4 months (i believe)
