I Finished reading Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way, and can recommend it. There is a bit too much reminissing for my taste, but over all the informaion was put together well enough to be useful. There wasn't that much depth however in riding techniques, and like Keith Code, I don't think too much of the "body steering" stuff. Counter steering is where it's at for me. It's not the best book, IMHO, but it has some good stuff in there that will help most riders, new and old.
My favorite book is still Total Control:High-Performance Street Riding Techniques by Lee Parks. His ability to break down technique and make sense of it makes his book the first choice, again IMHO.
Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ienatsch is another good book, but Total Control is still better, IMHO.
No matter what, you should think seriously about getting one of these 3 books to help your riding. Each one has a little bit of a different twist on riding technique, and I'm certain that one of these would help enhance you skill level. Also, there are many similarities of technique in these books. So obviously there are fundementals to good riding that everyone can agree upon.
From top to bottom, I would recommend you read these books and practice the techniques that each puts forth and perhaps one will make you a better, safer, faster rider.

BTW: Keith Code's books didn't make any sense to me and perhaps that is because it seemed more focused towards the track rider and racer of which I am neither.
