What's the best book covering the Caro-Kann with its main variations?

Houska's book, Peter Wells, and one other im not remembering now are the best books for the mainline.

For the advance variation and the panov attack Karpov's books are the best.

Houska & Wells are the most popular. Houska's repertoire usually gives you a shot at the full point, even if that means taking risks. Wells' repertoire handles things a bit more traditionally, sometimes assuming you are content with a draw as Black.

Thank you both very much. I appreciate the responses. Have already checked out the Houska and Wells' books and plan to purchase from Amazon.
