Middle Limit Hold'em is well worth reading. There are lots of hand examples and such. The main problem with it is that some of the advice is a little weak-tight.
HEPFAP is good, but it works better in tighter games -- you can't make moves on oblivious players like those at the low-limits. And it also assumes many fewer players in an average pot than you find at the low-limits. That said, HEPFAP used to be the most widely read book -- the "Advanced Players" part of the title was especially attractive to the idiots who were sure they were advanced and thus misapplied lots of the advice.
I love to read the poker books (obviously) and so have read most of them. And I always find plenty of good things in the good books. Both of these are very good books.
But I don't understand why you think SSHE doesn't work -- I would love to hear your thoughts on that! Yes, it is a VERY high-variance style, but if you cut out some of the pf raising that only builds a huge pot (I don't care if it is +EV, it also ties the weakies with their crazy hands to the pot), I think the SSHE advice is mostly gold.
