So many books!

Any recommendations for 2k-3k player?

In my cart now are:

Come up to Sudan
Learning from pro games

The master play series looks good too.

Any help appreciated!

All of John Fairbairn's books comes to mind. :)

For all who don't know, I believe the OP is referring to a temporary 25% off sale.

In my opinion, all of Yuan Zhou's books are good. They take you inside the head of strong players throughout their games.

Magic on the First Line is a book I enjoyed very much - focused on first line tesujis that come up more often than you might realize.

The Go Consultants has received good reviews - it basically a running diary of a Pair Go game played between Japanese Go superstars many years ago.

Probably a good idea to pick up the Michael Redmond books while they are still around and on sale.
Looks like "The ABC's of Attack and Defense" from 2002 seems to no longer be in print at least for this sales.
Try picking up "Patterns of the Sanrensei" and "Modern Masters: Redmond on Pro Games".
