Book about raising siblings?

I've heard of Siblings Without Rivalry, are there others I should know about before I just go ahead and buy that one? I don't have time and head space to read and apply more than one thing (in fact it'll be lucky if I even succeed in reading and applying one thing, but at least the one thing should be chosen well). I feel this constant worry that I'm navigating the sibling thing wrong. So many dilemmas, and I don't have access to role models, and never had a sibling close in age myself so I really have no idea how this is supposed to work.

Siblings Without Rivalry is an excellent book and pretty easy to read as well. I found that it worked best for me to read a chapter and make some notes that I could hang on the wall to remind me for a while (that helps me remember).
Anyways, to me it was excellent and I didn't need any other sibling books, it helped me both understand my kids and also help them deal with their emotions and as a consequence their behaviour towards each other improved greatly!
Personally I'd just stick with that.
