It’s dark sided counterpart, the Book of Sith, was also a highly enjoyable piece of lore. The diverse authors (Sorzus Syn, Darth Malgus, Mother Talzin, Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious) couldn’t be more different and they all provide a different perspective on the dark side.

Thanks a lot, you should try the path of the Jedi (I found it at the library and got it later at my birthday).

I think a book that is the same formula path of the Jedi, but does it a little better: The bounty hunter code. It's an outline of how to be a good bounty hunter in the Imperial Era and has an entire section written by Boba Fett at the end, but I haven't gotten to that part. I've had almost all the "Manual" books in the series for a while now, and I'm about to get the Imperial handbook. I hope you do the same.

Try the High Republic books. It can seem daunting with so many, but there are some really good ones in there, and they're still coming out with them, so they'll last you a while.
