Books for NL 6 player SNGs? |

Hello,
I play 6 player NL SNG STTs almost exclusively. Are there any books which deal with this form of the game?
Most tournament books I've seen deal with the early stages of an MTT with low blinds/lots of players, then look separately at the later stages with few players & higher blinds. In a 6 player SNG though, you start with few players & low blinds.
I'm experimenting with an approach I think is uniquely suited to this form, and I've upped my hourly return with this approach, but I'm interested to see if anyone has written anything on this type of game.
I'm currently reading Sklansky's 'Hold'em for Advanced Players', but this focuses on limit, whereas I play NL. (Also, while the content of the ideas may be top quality, the writing style is abysmal. The structure of the concepts is buried under very sloppy presentation. Once I've read through it once, I'm going to have to decide if its worth the time to go through it and edit it into a logical structure, but as its mainly talking about limit games, it might not be worth it).
I've heard good things about Harrington's 2 volume tournament book, but again that seems to be mainly for MTTs. I've also heard that this is poorly presented (not even spell-checked, let alone proof read) - its also a 2+2 book.
So, is there anything out there for STTs?

Harrington is mainly for MTT, but there are some SNG references and all examples regarding play on final tables with few people and high blinds should suit the important levels of an SNG perfectly. Both HoH books has ok presentation and the language is fine. It IS a 2+2 book (since they published it) but it is a very easy read.
Most of Sklansky's books are good reads nomatter what format you play too, even if they look ugly.

Winning Low Limit Holdem by Lee Jones (the newest version) has a small section deling specifically with SNG's. Might be helpful?
