Default book ordering for NL

Hi, I decided I order some books from amazon, and these are on my wishlist:

Little Green Book -Phil Gordon
NLHTAP- D. Sklansky-E. Miller
Professional No limit Hold'em - Matt Flynn
Harrington on Hold'em III( I. and II. already read)

+ 2 psychological books:
The Poker Mindset- Ian Taylor
Your Worst Poker Enemy- A. Schoonmaker

I am not beginner in NL, and I hope these books are not for the absolutely beginners.

(If I order these books, can the Pot limit-No limit by Ciaffone,Reuben show any other important things from NL fro me?)

Is any book from this list which is not recommended ?

Thank you very much

Well I read the Little Green Book and wasn't very impressed. Some basic strategy here and there... a lot of anecdotes and a couple of equity tables. Honnestly, it's not that good but a bit entertaining. Not much to learn from this unless if you're a beginner

Let just say that LGB is NO MATCH vs NLHTAP

Okay very stupid ques. but what is NLHTAP I know it is an abbreviation but what is the whole title. Since it is by Sklansky it must be good though.
thx

NLHTAP = No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice, I heard this is mainly about hard but important theoretical concepts in No limit hold'em

yes, Little Green Book is not so recommended, because I could get it a few moments earlier in pdf format and in audio files too
(listening it will be enough)

I haven't read Professional No-Limit Hold 'em Volume I but it's on its way. I would imagine that it should come earlier in your sequence than NLHE:TAP, because it appears to be a more practical development of some of the same themes. (I.e. calculations you can do at the table, versus calculations presented only for illustration.)

Ed Miller and Sunny Mehta are co-authors along with Matt Flynn whom you cited.
