NONE of Helmuth's books are best to read (read poster above...'read Phil's book... it blew chunks') ... he's not exaggerating.  I've read dozens of poker books & Phil's would have to rate down at the bottom with the worst of them (too bad... I like Phil).
Read 'em & Reap is the only one I haven't read but have read alot of Navarro's articles and have lots of them saved on my computer (he really goes into some in-depth stuff on tells).
 
Oddly enough I was out with a friend on Saturday and visited a mall in another city and of course.... straight to the bookstore.  There was only one poker book on their shelf that I hadn't read (yet) and it was Read'em & Reap.
Do you think it's really worth getting even if you're able to just read Navarro's stuff online?  If so, I'll probably pick this one up too (haven't been able to order thru the local library via an 'inter-library book loan').
 
Good to hear you were able to put it to good use right after reading it. Pretty sure all can relate to those smaller buyin live tourneys (ie. ~$50) where blinds escalate like crazy and avg. chipstacks end up being under 5bb's (seems most of the players don't understand that they need to be getting their chips in >>>> limp, call, call, call, call.. FLOP.. minbet...call.. fold fold... turn> minbet.. call...river.. check.. check... oh.. your hand is better than mine.. you flopped bottom pr. with your Q3sooooted.
