Bible of RX Books?

Anyone have any recommendations besides Moyer's book or HL's Troubled company? Looking for something that is both technical and conceptual and was published somewhat recently. Moyer's seems to be the go-to RX book, but it's an '06 publication I believe, so a lot of the info is likely dated and no longer applicable. Happy if I'm wrong on this assumption and it's still a legitimate standard, just looking for something to sink my teeth into.

Couple things. First of note, I'm a student gunning for RX ft, so my opinion is not necessarily reflexive of reality. That being said, here is what I have been reading:

  1. Distressed Investment Banking - Owsley

----Good qualitative overview of the process, kind funny writing style, lacking in hard skills

  1. Corporate Financial Distress, Restructuring, and Bankruptcy-Hotchkiss

----Hidden gem of the industry, new version coming out in Feb, good blend of quant/qual

3 Distressed Debt - Moyer

----Needs no intro

Last item I'd add is the new version of Rosenbaum and Pearl. There's a lot more attention to LBO material in this one, which while not directly related to rx, has some strong connections. Also just a really good intro to the whole industry.

Sorry for poor formatting, would love it if anyone has anything to add to help on the grind.
