Im not really math based. Ill say part of my concern is itll just tell me to do what im already doing in cash games. (bet a lot)

The math stuff is spread all over many tourney books, so there is no shortcut. If your cash is GTO level, you need to learn the maths of shortstack play, and that's mostly it, counting out some bubble factors and the brains of your opponents. Although if you want some heads up tables, and more, there are a lot of them, net, softwares, books.
Just too many pages printed. A ten page booklet would cover most needed if one already plays good cash.
Yes, thats pretty much what i need. a 10 page booklet on short stacking, shipping tables, and some thoughts on...whatever other intricicies that tournamnets may have, whatever that may be. I feel very confident >100 BB, and reasonably so >50 BB.

Bluh, i was trying to decide between kill everyone and raisers edge, and i bought raisers edge about 30 mins before you guys posted (as well as another book) Kill Everyone may be my next book if i finish these two before the tournaments roll around.
Looking at Excelling, seems sort of like a cash game book. I may check out the one hand at a time book as well, that sounds interesting.
