Default Best omaha hi book?

Looking to get into/improve my Omaha hi game, what in people's opinions is the best book for omaha hi?

I've played a little omaha from time to time I know the basics but that's about as far as it goes. Don't know anything abotu % and strategys.

Best ... well ... err .. Slotsbooms, Ciaffone and Ruebens are the only three books worth considering (I assuma Farha on Omaha is crap)

Ciaffone is a very very basic book.

Slotsboom is a narrative over his career and half the book deals with shortstacking.

And Ruebens is a collection of hand examples from games that do not exist on the internet (very deep)



So meh ... personally I like Slotbooms book, but that is mainly due to his writing style, you know ... The here is how I did it and not much preaching, instead of the usual 'I'm an expert player (blah blah blah) and yet my book is simple and a mess' stuff that is out there.

We get one of these at least once a week.

Apparently, the reader base here is practically screaming to 2+2 to write a PLO book.

The most effective way to write a PLO book nowadays would be to market it as a transition book for NLHE players. Publishing a PLO book for PLO regulars is not going to generate much enthusiasm.
