Science, Evolution, and Creationism, National Acadamy of Sciences. More a booklet than a book (under 90 pages). A reasoned attack on creationism aimed at high school science teachers.
Urban Operations Research by Richard Larson and Amedeo R. Odoni. A classic in applied operations research. Ebook editions of my two books, The Complete Book of Hold'Em Poker and The Complete Book of Casino Poker are sold by me for $6.25 and $3.50. There are some free ebooks on poker strategy scattered around. Various sites use them for promotion, and you can be pretty sure they'll be superficial and not really get into nitty-gritty strategic issues. But, some aren't a complete waste of time.
Poker: A Guarenteed Income for Life by Frank R. Wallace.
I highly recommend it. The Definitive Online Poker Strategy didn't impress me but it's not a total waste of time.
Secrets of Winning Online Poker is pretty bad. The author spells even worse than I do, which I didn't think was possible. But I at least I know how to edit and/or spellcheck, even if I don't always do it well. This clown doesn't even know what edit means. Besides the problems with spelling he doesn't have a close, personal relationship with the concept of a sentence. It's about 20 pages of text, which doesn't have anything unique to offer and some of what it does offer isn't even right. Ads are interspesed in those 20 pages. Then it's followed by about 30 pages of ads. A major waste of time. If you've ever read anything at all about poker, or just talked to someone else about poker for 5 minutes once, then there's no reason I can see of to read this poker strategy book. Sit-n-go strategy for Full-Tilt poker doesn't even work as an effective ad. As a poker how-to book it's really bad. A complete waste of time. Don't bother.
