You can find this in the commercial marketplace, it does seem to get quite a few good reviews.

I have Power Hold'em Strategy (the DN book) and I think there's a bunch of good information in there... for those with enough post flop experience. A lot of what he discusses is gold but if you don't already have a really good feel for post flop play, it could get you into a lot of trouble. You need to already have a good sense of where you are in a hand and the hand ranges other players are playing. You can't learn that from a book... it comes with experience.

And, the best way to gain that experience is to play a lot... and when you start... play very tight to keep from getting into those marginal spots. As you get better, you can slowly open up your game and add a little bit at a time from what the book has to offer. If you sit down on day 1 and try and play exactly like the book suggests... you're going to end up blowing through a bunch of money.

It's not the best poker book I've read... but it's not bad either. There's a lot of good discussion in there about how to think about hands and position. Just don't leap into the deep end of the pool right away and think that reading the book will make you as good as DN post flop.

ACtually, Power Hold'em and HOH are on different ends of the spectrum style wise.
