Indispensable books for STTs? Indispensable books for STTs?

As I continue to try to improve my STT game, I've started to work my way through the wisdom that's currently in print. This is both by way of directly catching my leaks, and getting a better understanding of how opponents well-versed in the literature may be thinking.

I started with Moshman's original book, but was not incredibly impressed with some of his advice. This is not a knock on him as much as it's a statement of the ongoing improvement of the collected wisdom of the STT community in the years since it was published.

In any case, I want to keep reading. What should I crack open next? What books should be "required reading" for anyone who intends to grind STTs for fun and profit?

My choice would be "Kill Everyone".

if you already have a decent framework, then absolutely this.

if you are starting out: moshman book, some videos and this forum is all you need.

sngwiz is essential of course.

This was the one that I had my eye on in particular. Worthwhile or no?

Seriously, you don't need any. Get a sub to Cardrunners or Deucescracked and read all of the 2p2 milestones / stickies and you'll get infinitely better information than any books on the market.

Kill Everyone is not worth it imo, it's too advanced for most beginners / intermediates, and doesn't really address stts so much as mtts, even though it does have a chapter on stts. It has one useful chapter on bubble factors, but overall not worth the expense.
