Please let me know what`s the best book (s) I can buy on poker, I`m ready to get `em all if there`s a lot that will teach me nice clean techniques. If you`ve read a good one and learned something valuable from it, I`ll buy it.
Depending on your level. I started reading Doyle Brunson's Super System 1 & 2. For me it is a must read book but a little older. Poker has changed nowadays so, maybe there are some better: I also recommend the classics:Theory of Poker by David Sklansky, Harrington on Hold'em I, II & III, etc ...

Books are ok, but they are just that - books. I mean you can get the basics (ie. maths, basic principles/strategies) but to learn TO PLAY you really need TO PLAY and observe what's happening.
As advised above - Sklansky's and Brunson's books are ok. But use the net resources too (forums, hand discussions/evaluations, coaching, etc.)
Online poker rooms are supplying more and more resources all the time. Some poker magazines like Bluff or All In have some good articles in them the are up to date with the times.

I just heard tonight that Negreanu has some very good books out. Snyder seems a cool read as well. I''m going to try those. I now have Sklansky, hold'em for advanced players, but that's a cash limit book. And I think I'll also get Harrington's books on tournaments. Without reading, your poker level stall (at least mine), so reading is a must! Enjoy.

You can get most books online as .pdf files but, tbh I've never read a poker book. Training videos got me the roll I have and there are ways and means of obtaining them too
