isn't the $5 - $50 generally play TAG and win?

The HOH books are as good as any for SNGs if you really want to buy one, but you won't find any better advice anywhere than right in this forum.

Play ABC poker. There are a bunch columns written about this, especially for the <$20 buyin. Wait for good hands and jam it.

First book I read on SNGs was actually Winning Low Limit Holdem by Lee Jones, I believe. It just had a small chapter on SNGs.

Best books, however, are Harrington on Holdem, Volumes 1&2 (HOH). He advocates a slightly more conservative approach using selective aggression as many seem to use on these boards. I play much more akin (conservatively) to Harrington than I do to some of the better players you will see posting on these boards but he does talk about both approaches.
