For those of you who have read a number of training books .... which book do you think is currently the best one on the market?

I've heard Daniel's Running Formula is good, but I am partial to an older Minutes-based approach:
How to Train for and Run Your Best Marathon, by Gordon Bakoulis Bloch (1993), New York: Simon and Schuster. I am in the middle of using one of her buildup plans to get to 6 hours of running a week. Then I will use another schedule for a marathon buildup next year. This works well and takes a lot of pressure off of "trying to get the miles in". The miles come, but its the emphasis on total aerobic minutes that sealed the deal for me!

I just got "Lore of Running" by Timothy Noakes and find it very complete. I recommend it very much.
It covers from simple races to longer ones. Also got Daniels Running Formula, but its a bit to advanced for me yet. Maybe in a year or two I could really get into it.

I'm in the middle of reading Run Faster by Brad Hudson. It is a really good book. He talks about a lot of concepts that I've never thought about before.

"Sam's Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days" was quite good. And "Getting to Know ArcObjects" is excellent. Very good training manuals.

Well, true VB 6 is completely obsolete now, but I still use the principles since it was my first language. So it has come in handy for me anyway.
