"Harrington on Hold'em" was originally released back in 2004. Just recently I decided to finally give it a read because I had heard such great things about it. I'm glad I did because it was a fun read.
Harrington covers everything about the early stages of a poker tournament in this book. He goes over position, starting hands, pot odds, reading the table, betting before and after the flop, and how to bet on the turn and river. He really goes into great depth on all these subjects.
He does a hand analysis for all these subjects. Most of the book consists of the hand analysis. Harrington lays out the situation for you, asks the reader how they would play it and then explains what you should do in the situation. He really does a great job and the hand analysis is very realistic. Harrington goes over countless situations and he really makes you think about why you make certain plays in different types of situations.
"Harrington on Hold'em" is a very good book on tournament poker. This is a very good book for the intermediate player looking to up their game to the next level. If you're a beginner I might check out something else to start you off but if you have a little experience and understand the game and terms get this book. For the advanced player you probably won't learn a ton from this book but you'll pick up a few things here and there and the hand analysis makes it worth purchasing.
