I went to the book store and there's probably 20 or so books on BJ. I'm guessing most all say the same thing. I know basic strategy and know the H-Lo count, (still practicing on getting better though). I would like your opinions on the most thorough book there is on advanced strategies. Thanks in advance.
Please recommend me a book

There are some good book recommendations in the FAQ thread. Since you already know the HiLo system you might want to read Schlesinger’s Blackjack Attack. It discusses playing strategies, betting strategies, game selection, standard deviation, risk of ruin, backcounting techniques, and pretty much all the basics. Basically, it tells you how to use card counting successfully. The new edition is available through this site.

Oh yes i didnt even think of burning the tables in las vegas. This book covers alot of subjects that no others books do. His camoflauge is great, and he describes ways to travel with money, how to play for comps, disguises, and many other areas that I have yet to see in any other book. I would recomend this book for any blackjack player who is serious about winning.

Ha.. I was going to make a new thread about this, but then I thought I should check a few pages back because I know how annoying it is when new members join and make duplicate threads..
So I'm looking to probably get 2 books, I understand BS and Hi-Lo but am still pretty new..
Would Blackbelt in Blackjack and Blackjack Attack be 2 good ones to get me going?

"Blackbelt in Blackjack"
"Blackbelt in Blackjack" is the best choice for a new BJ player.
It contains the easiest system for a newbie to learn i.e. Hi-Lo Lite as well as my multi-deck preference - the powerful ZEN COUNT. It uses rounded index numbers that are very easy to learn.
It is written in a style that is completely non-intimidating. The book is inexpensive. It contains NO bad advice at all. I own virtually ALL of the books that exist on BJ.
By nature I am a critical nit-picker; but I cannot but praise this invaluable work when it comes to the best book for a novice blackjack player who wants to become an A.P. It is where I started decades ago.
Get the 2005 edition:

Footnote: Additional must-have books are few and far between. "Blackjack Attack, 3rd ed." is priceless, but isn't for beginners.
