Book suggestions on counting

I'm looking to buy another book on blackjack. I don't really want a book that wastes time explaining the rules and basic strategy. I've read Beat the Dealer (Thorp), Theory of Blackjack (Griffin), and Blackjack Bluebook II (Renzey). I want a book that will help me play the game using HiLo. I want it to include playing indices, betting correlations, and a bit on team play. I want to book to have been written recently, so that nothing has significantly changed in the world of Blackjack, regarding rules or otherwise. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you want Blackjack Attack version 3. It covers all of those things (and more!) and it is recently updated. It also skips over all the rules/basic strategy stuff that you already know about.

Based on the desired ingredients you mentioned, I'd say your next two books should be Stanford Wong's Professional Blackjack, and then Rick Blaine's Blackjack Blueprint.

Are you the Renzey in parenthesis behind the book mentioned above or do you just have the same name?

Probably just a coincidence that Renzey answers questions about BJBBII and KISS so authoritatively. :joker:

It is a real honor to have such an accomplished advocate of the game in our midst Mr. Renzey.

I appreciate your advice.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts. Hope the links are useful. I'm barred from ALL UK land-based casinos for card counting - so I'm sharing my knowledge of 15 years of play for free to help others.
