Machiavellian Poker Strategy - How to play like a prince and rule the table by David Apostolico.
I picked this book up for a joke maybe 7-8 years ago. Can't remember too much about it but it's not a serious guide.
The poker tournament formula was the first book that sprung to mind for me when reading the thread title. This was one of the first books i read on poker and it confused me massively. There were far too many rules to follow you would never be able to play exactly as the author prescribed.
The best bit about TPTF would be the descriptions for profiling live players. Absolutely hilarious stuff.
Great thread idea
