Inside the Poker Mind -- Boy, did I get ripped off!!
 

Okay, not ripped off, but my copy has the strangest page numbering scheme I've ever seen. I just received it yesterday from Conjelco.

The page after 116 is 149.
It then proceeds from 149 to 180 but instead of 181 being the next page, it repeats 149 to 180 again.

It appears normal after the "second" 180.

Assumptions: (1) Pages 117 to 148 were just fluff anyway and not important. (2) Pages 149 to 180 are so important they need to be read twice. (3) My copy may be a collector's edition. (4) 2+2 will pay me substantially to keep quiet and burn the only messed up copy of a book 2+2 ever had. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if I feel special or "special."

If you send it back to them they will send you a new copy.

It's something I developed called creative pagination. It aims to free your mind from the normal constraints of sequential reasoning, to allow you to enter a zone of near total thought freedom, enabling a level of powerfully intuitive, yet logically sound play.

Alas, though, if you're like everyone else so far, you'll prefer to send it back for the "conventional" copy. Go ahead; I'm okay with that. But it's your loss. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I thought it was just one of those sales gimmicks.

I think I might keep it and just order one of those "conventional" ones. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

That way, when someone calls me an idiot, I'll just shrug my shoulders and say, "It must have been on page 125." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Does the book have a printing date?

I recently went on a tour of 2+2's printers. This problem used to occur because there was some manual labor involved in a particular part of the binding process. But, now that process has what should be extremely reliable automated proofing. So, this shouldn't be happening with any newly printed books.

who cares. why post this?
 

so you got a book that was manufactured incorrectly!! do you think that is worth a post? why not just contact conjelco and they will replace it. instead you write that you were ripped off. did you need attention? it was of time and just dumb to make your post.

fyi inside the poker mind is terrific. i am sure that once you send it back and they replace it - like a normal person does with a reputable company, you will find it a great read.

Hi TT:

Ray negleced to state that he only gets his fair share royalty for any books that we sell. As for your "pennies" statement concerning his share, it's not appropriate for me to comment one way or another.

Best wishes,
Mason

Mason - I hope you have Ray's signature on file. If signed copies of a book go for 200,000 on Ebay, imagine how much we could make by selling copies of books with binding errors that have his signature forged! Partners? Thats a lot of pennies!

This explanation makes sense to me because the first copy I bought of Inside the Poker Mind had the same problem: I don't remember exactly which pages, but the same thing of a long repeated section. Of course, I quickly noticed this and exchanged the book. Seems I should have kept it...I don't know the exact date I bought the flawed copy, but it was late 2003/early 2004. Not to diminish Onaflag's feeling special, but just to let him know that he is not alone.

tt, if you have a copy of my book and ever run into me when you arent in your car i will sign it and you can retire in style.

No worries, I traded the TT in for a new car. Now you have to worry about being seen with a guy sitting in an MX5 instead.

Your just jealous because you barely fit in the car when we went for a ride, and thats the closest you will ever get to a 16 year old girl [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

HEY RAY, you really paying $5,000?
 

Hey Ray,

I got a copy of your Omaha/Hi-Lo Stud book that is a total misprint like that. How much you paying?
