1. Baccarat for the Clueless (The Clueless Guides)
by John May
This is probably the best book on Baccarat, and I preciously keep my copy for reference. John May's mastery of all historical, social and quantitative aspects of the game is remarkable. My only complaint is that the author tends to get carried away when he suggests "winning" strategies. Don't expect to find a practical way of making money in this book: unfortunately, a baccarat deck is much more stable than a blackjack deck. Still, if someone ever finds a winning strategy for baccarat, he will probably have read this book.
Finally, a very minor point: there is a small mistake in the description of the rules of Baccarat Banque... although since Baccarat Banque is hardly ever played today it does not really matter.

2. The Baccarat Battle Book: How to Attack the Game of Baccarat
by Frank Scoblete
This is the best book on baccarat I've ever read and I've read just about all of them, including John May's excellent book. But May is too esoteric, while Scoblete can teach the average player to really exploit this game for comps. He also has the most remarkable way to reduce the casino edge on the Bank bet by 20 percent! Get this book for its research and revelations. Like all of Scoblete's books it is well written and enjoyable.

3. John Patrick's Baccarat: How to Play and Win at the Table With the Fastest Action and the Highest Stakes
by John Patrick
John Patrick explains the subtleties of baccarat to help turn players into winners. As in other table games, the baccarat player must adhere to an exacting discipline: players must have a sufficient bankroll to withstand a losing trend, must know how to manage money, and must have reliable knowledge of the game to win. Once players learn the secrets of baccarat, they may never play any other casino game.

4. Winning Baccarat Strategies: The First Effective Card Counting Systems for the Casino Game of Baccarat
by Henry J. Tamburin
This book is a great SUPPLIMENT to other baccarat books, such as John May's Baccarat For the Clueless (a misleading title for great book) or Frank Scoblete's book on baccarat, the title which I have forgotten but it has something to do with "attacking" the game. To get back on track, this book goes over possible counting strategies and other good information, albeit in a technical manner, it concludes that although good situations do come up and card counting at baccarat can tell you when they do, it is simply not worth it. Even with the best counting system, you can barely pull a dollar an hour in expected value, so it's really not worth it, especially since games like blackjack can give you a much better edge. But if you want to learn some cover games to avoid heat and know more about the math of the game, this book is great. Get John May's book for a history and other methods besides counting for beating this game. I gave Winning Baccarat strategies 3 stars instead of four or five, is not because it's short, but because there is a section on ESP as a form of advantage play, which I find completely ridiculous. But it's a good addition to your library, and although it's a bit stiff [money amount] it's the only book with a counting system and math and the rest of it.

5. Lyle Stuart on Baccarat
by Lyle Stuart
If you have ever been to a gambling casino and wondered why so many people lose and so few win, this book is for you.
Casino owners won't like much of what Lyle Stuart reveals in this book. But no one can challenge the accuracy and authenticity of what Stuart writes.
This book describes the introduction of baccarat in America. The author was there. The do's and don'ts of successful play are spelled out. Lyle Stuart is an expert on the game. Recently he won two baccarat tournaments in Atlantic City and collected a quarter million dollars in winnings.
