If I was going to buy a book on lucid dreaming, which of these would be better:
“Lucid Dreaming: The Power of Being Awake and Aware in Your Dreams”
Or
“ETWOLD” ?
(Both by Stephen LaBerge)
Lucidipedia considers both to be a must-have, but considers “LD: TPoBAaAiYD” to be the best book ever written on lucid dreaming, and says, “This is a no-brainer. If you can still get your hands on it, buy it. Original old-school literature and honestly our favorite,” and also, “We recommend Stephen's Lucid dreaming to anyone. Try and get it right away.”
About ETWOLD, it says, “This one, is a must-have. Stephen LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (1990) deals with the full range of topics you will ever need to know about when starting to become a lucid dreamer. It actually justifies the 5-star rating: it's complete. Moreover it reads instructional, almost procedural even, like a manual.”
It explains that the main difference between the two is that while ETWOLD reads more like an instructional manual or guidebook, “LD: TPoBAaAiYD” contains all of the same information, but in more of a story format. It reads like a story that LaBerge is telling you, through which LDing and all of its components are explained (which is why Lucidipedia liked it more). ETWOLD is more instructional and serious.
I don’t want to buy both. Which should I get? 
PS: In considering this problem, please note that I am not an LD noob. I already LD and I am by no means a beginner. I would just like to get a core piece of literature about lucid dreaming, not a "beginner's guide."
