The Simplified and Illustrated book does have some value but I believe that is limited value.
The Rules By Topic book does not expand or further explain anything. It just groups all relevant rules and case book plays together to shorten the time it takes to look up all of the information relevant to the play.
I have never seen it but the Reddings guide appears to do much more than just restate the rules.
My state has quit ordering the Simplified and Illustrated for us and now sends us the Rules By Topic book every year. That is an improvement for us as I see it.
