What is the best SEO book, ebook or reference out there?

    What is the absolute best SEO resource currently out there? If you could only pick one whether it be an ebook, free resource, written book or manual, etc..., what would it be and why? This thread should provide a real benefit to both newbies and the rest of Digital Point. I'd like to see what comes out as the best ranked resource of all.

    I should say if you want to have a complete guide and beginner tips for SEO, spend the money for the SEO Book by Aaron Wall. It provides a wide coverage on all SEO aspects and a beginner should be able to understand what Aaron is trying to convey since the diction used was simple English.;)

    seobook is great but not suitable for newbie. I bought it and still having difficulties fully understand the entire concept and techniques written there. But it is a very good guide. (tips, I have to read it a few (at least three time to understand some basic concept).

    Regards,
    Stephen

    I think the best e-book I read are those coming from the "real" SEO experts not just some "experts wannabes"...

    Those who are helpful not just selling e-books for income....
