K-W Poker Library

I had thought about this before, but Wolffhounds comment (http://www.pokerforum.ca/forum/index.php?board=12;topic=5442.3#msg45166) spurred me to action. Since I'm very new to poker, I'm trying to read up as much as I can to get started. However, the public library appears to have pretty bad taste, and books aren't cheap. I was wondering if any of the local players who have a few books would be interested in some sort of loan/swap program? As I'm new, it might be preferable if someone a little better known runs it, and any "rules" interested parties have would need to be figured out (how to handle loss or major damage, etc.). A big benefit would be sharing costs. For example, I'm planning on picking up Harrington Vol. 1 next, but if someone has it (and I could read it for free) I could purchase a different book not available through our "group library". Is anyone interested in something like this, or have any ideas?

If not, and anyones interested in a private arrangement (loan me your books! ), just PM me.

To start, the books I have are "Doyle Brunsons Super System" and "Winning at Poker" (Dave Scharf).

Redington

I would be in;

I have;

SuperSystem I
Playing poker like the Pros
Tournament Strategy for Advanced Players
Tao of Poker
Harrington on Hold em - Advanced Strategy
Killer Poker Strategies
Killer Poker Online
Doyles' Stories of a Champion
The Zen of Poker
Caro's Book of Tells
MoneyMakers how I turned $40 into WSOP Millions (Im not sure of the title but he only has one book)

What I am looking for is
Harrington's No Limit Theory- End game
The Banker, The Pro and The Suicide King

And Olsen's Standard Book of British Birds, the Expurged version, without the Gannet

Trades anyone? Trevor, send me an email, I hear that Scharf guy has an interesting view and maybe we can set up a trade.

I would lend...but, would want back (and don't keep em in the shitter like Big E does...)

Miller/Skalansky- Winning Low Limit Holdem
Lee Jones- LLH
Helmuth- Play Poker like the Pros (I don't need it back)
SuperSystem 1
Harrington Vol 1 and 2 (one is out to Big E, or will be), 2 can be borrowed
Skalansky- Advanced Tournament Strategies (currently being held by DrTyore)

PM me if you want to pick one up. I'm in KW

Wolffhound - you obviously hold Hellmuth in high esteem! And it sounds like you're already doing the "private library" thing.

I was planning on getting Harrington's books next, since I think that would help my game the most right now.  I really enjoyed the excerpt from "The Banker, The Pro and The Suicide King", though, and it sounded like a great read outside of the self-improvement stream, though.  Since it sounds like both of Harrington's books are (or will be) available for loan (between you and Redington), I'll grab that (if nobody else has it already), and get it into circulation.
