EXTRAORDINARY BUT TRUE STORIES

Covering poker's world championship event and the many characters
it draws, this work compiles some of the strangest things said about
the game and presents a detailed argument that this past year was the
strangest year in poker yet. The author covers all bases, from the
first-ever poker cheat (in 1829) to today's world championship event
(arguing that the past year was the strangest yet). He exposes the

certain member of the Royal family who was very much amused by poker.
The poker world is divided between those who believe the game to be
the most skilled contest ever devised, and those who believe that
success in the game relies on pure luck. 257 pages, paperbound, 2007. |

PLAY DEAD
by Michael A. Arnzen
Price ... $27.95
This is a novel with a poker and Vegas theme ... a combination
horror/mystery novel. Here's the description from the dust jacket.
Johnny had been to the top. Young and slick, he knew how to play the
high roller, dress the part, and make his opponents sweat. He'd ridden
into Vegas on a winning streak a mile wide. But Vegas took everything,
even his lucky gold tooth. You'd think he couldn't fall any lower than
a homeless shelter full of the downtrodden. And he couldn't possibly
have anything left to lose. But you'd be wrong. Johnny soon discovers
there's a game going on at the shelter. A game where before you play
the cards you have to make them. A game where the payout is survival
and folding means death. A game where the question becomes: are you
playing the cards or are they playing you? Using 52 chapters, Arnzen's
novel-of-cards is stacked with mischief and thrills. Like the most
accomplished blackjack dealer, Arnzen will keep you guessing at his
hand. Are you ready to play? 272 pages, hardbound, March 2007. |
