I read the existing written literature on plo5 the past week...here are my thoughts:
The Five card formula (corey mikesell): $197, around 40 pages long. Some good ideas on spr and how that changes our plans for the hand over multiple streets, and the advice on equities needed IP versus OOP at different sprs as well was useful. A little short and not as comprehensive or concrete advice as you might like for such an expensive book though, it is more high level and conceptual and full of graphs that take up a lot of space.
Uncovering Five-card pot limit omaha (David chen): $18, around 60 pages long. Written by a non-professional player, quite repetitive in many sections. Got 2-star review on amazon and I an inclined to agree with those reviews. A lot of advice is superficial and not in-depth enough, and some preflop advice is hard to understand due to the the terminology used. Some good advice on staying balanced with bluffs versus value with just a few examples, and playing different player types, but these concepts are not unique to PLO5.
Neither book has much on actual equities in various postflop senarios and stack off thresholds for various hands at different SPRs (unlike my ebook which is full of these examples), they just say "lookup the equities on your own." That's a lot of work and something a good book on PLO5 should include IMHO. Also neither went into particularly comprehensive detail on all the bluffing candidates in PLO5 as my book does (link to reviews below):
