Re: which books would you give 10/10 ?
Well I am only a limit player so I won't include NL books like the Harrington ones or Phils Little Green book even though I have read them and enjoyed them very much.
Small stakes hold em- The best book ever on limit hold em bar none. Getting started in hold em- Best beginners book and even a great refresher course for advanced players. Weighing the odds- One of the best limit books and probably very close to the best information about playing short handed available. How good is your limit hold em- This book made me think about the game more than any other book I have ever read. Highly instructive. I got a lot out of this book but it is a very advanced book so for a beginner it would be a complete waste of time and like reading another language- it is only suitable for people with a very high level of understanding of limit hold em. Winning Texas hold em by Matt Maroon- I love this book, especially the shorthanded chapter. I honestly can't figure out why it isn't more popular than it is. Sure there are some misprints and so on but the information contained within is just great. This would be the most underrated poker book of all. Internet Texas hold em by Matthew Hilger- This is another very underrated book and is one of the best books on limit hold em you can get; probably number 2 after Small stakes. Reading this book alone would be enough to make you a winning player provided you could absorb it all.

Re: which books would you give 10/10 ?
Man, off the top of my head:
Weighing the Odds in Hold'em 7CSFAP (And a big GOD DAMNIT I CAN'T FIND MY COPY RIGHT NOW! on that one) Improve Your Poker Mathematics of Poker Secrets of Pot Limit Omaha Hold'em on the Come TPFAP maybe (it has just been so long since I have read this) Sklansky on Poker Pot Limit and No Limit Poker HOH I probably Real Poker II SSHE Hi-Lo Split FAP TOP Inside the Poker Mind There are probably some others. I don't think I ever finished Middle Limit Holdem, that would probably make it when I get around to finishing it. I have read (or started and tossed) many many more poker books than listed, but I would consider the ones listed must read for a serious player who wants to develop all their games. Edit - I have not read How Good is Your Limit Hold'em (yet), but that has gotten some good feedback (in other threads as well).

I don't give it a 10 (I don't really give any book a 10) because there's not a lot useful for "internet" poker in it (that part of the information is very sparse.) However, more than any other book I've ever read, it simply teaches you how to PLAY (limit) poker. SSH is good too, it's just that it's mostly irrelevant for today's internet games (many people disregard the game conditions he specifies). There are still live games that it is useful for.
