Yeah, some of these aren't the latest editions and some of them are fairly lame. The PLO8 Deppen book also has a newer rework.
If I was advising a beginner who wanted to learn about all forms of Omaha 8 I would say start with limit O8:
Read SS II O8 chapter to get going
Read Zee's Omaha 8 half to fine tune some things
Read Hwang's O8 chapter for some post-flop emphasis
Look over some of Bill Boston's work to get a grasp of hand equites
Skim/read Cappelletti's O8 book to gain some insight to different thinking about the game
Then proceed to PLO8 and read everything:
Starting with Hwang's chapter on PLO8
Then read Deppen's book
Read the 2+2 O8 forum for NLO8 and play with ProPoker Tools a lot for all the games.
Realize that your PLO8 game can and should help your LO8 game and visa versa and if it isn't then you are missing something.
Get it fixed in your head early that as beautiful as it looks in a crowd, when heads-up, A234ds is a dog to A***, meaning a dog to any hand containing an ace and 3 other random cards, :-).
