I used to take piano lessons for several years. I got up to level 5 in the Piano Adventures series if that helps you know my experience. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve played and I would like to become an experienced player without the help of lessons. What is a good book that can help me learn quickly and get me to a fairly high skill level?

Don’t read a book. Just find a piano, and sit down infront of it for a while. It will all come back
get some musical notes u know wat i mean the la, ti, ta, fi things and practice..
Go to a music store and get some books on scales and pieces that your familiar with….it will all come back to you….I know, I’ve been there and done that with a different instrument….go for it….and good luck !!!!!!!!!
do you still have your books and the pieces that you used to play?
if you have them, go back and read through them
try playing some songs from here and there
if you have difficulties playing some songs from a specific level, try playing the songs from the previous level
practice a lot and it’ll come back to you
good luck!:)

In days you will be better, and be having more fun than ever before !!
Well i would get some method books and work on finger dexterity.
Bestein Adult beginner series are the best books if you want to learn on your own. But you have to keep in mind that piano is not like riding a bike. Some skill will come back, but very little to help you be an experienced player. If you are serious and want to play, you have to go back to taking lessons, you won’t have to relearn much of the theory but technique would have to be developed again. It seems like your are looking for an easy way out. It doesn’t work like that. Sorry for being honest.
I think it is great that you would like to refresh your piano playing skills. Learning piano is very much like learning a language, once you stop for awhile, it takes some time to refresh the knowledge and know-how.
One of the fastest way to bring back your sight reading ability is to sight read some simple pieces. There are many free printable sheet music websites out there.
Here is one
And of course you do need to have access to some kinds of keyboard or acoustic piano. Check out local school or church.
In order to master piano playing, one needs improve both the sight reading and improvising techniques. Sight reading will help one play by notes and music. Improvising will help one make up his/her own music.
