Best Trading Book Ever?

One the most helpful books on market structure is Trading and Exchanges by L.Harris. It's essential reading for any looking to master the craft.

The last edition I can find is from 2012 and I couldn't even know if that 2012 edition is a revised one from the previous, dated of 2002, or just a republishing without revision.

Assuming is a revides one, is this still reasonably updated after 6 years ?

No disrespect at all (and no aspersions cast about the book, which I've never seen - it's only just been published last month, apparently), but "free on Kindle" may be rather a sub-optimal criterion by which to assess textbook quality??? o_O

@Xela I would usually have the same notion, esp after having schemed through it. Most of the items in there are things a good trader already knows and there are 1000's of books out there that do that. However, the secret sauce to this one, IMHO, is the way in which it is laid out and written. It just helps untangles the neuronal wiring for a quicker response to real-time participation.
 
It’s pretty good. And, for the price, it’s a steal. This is a as good a starting place as any, and certainly better than most. The commandments thing is cheesy. For a brand n00b, they make sense. I would have chosen other trading rules, but then again, everyone’s a critic. I haven’t written any books, so there’s that. Nice of the guy to give back to the trading community.
 
Reading this book just for fun... so far so good. I did some digging on the author and it looks like he used to post here on ET back in the day. His handle was Lawrence Chan. Posted between 2002 and 2015.

Garbage work from a garbage vendor. He needs to go do something else.
