Default What book would YOU choose?

Hi.
I´m trying to learn Omaha Hi-Lo and will start by watching the game and read a book. I´ve been looking around these forums and I find that there are many opinions on what books to read, but I´ve come down to two of them.

I´m a total beginner to Omaha, I will play low fixed limit to start with and I need some advice on what hans to play, read a board, hand value etc. The books are:

Winning Omaha/8 Poker by Mark Tenner / Lou Krieger
How to win at Omaha High-Low Poker by Mike Cappelletti

What book would YOU choose?

Winning O/8 Poker.

Why you lose at Poker has one chapter on split pot games that I found interesting.

Is it worth getting "Why You Lose At Poker"?

Cappelletti's "book" is more like a collection of articles randomly stitched together. There's useful information inside, but overall the book is very unwieldy.

I've not read Tenner/Krieger but it is well regarded.

There are a couple of websites that used to be listed in the O8B FAQ. I never bookmarked them and don't have the links, but I found both of them to be extremely helpful. Those two sites are a great starting point and any book recommendation they may have should be followed.
