I bought this book used in 1984. The first book on poker I ever owned besides the ones giving basic rules and game variations.

Describes many concepts a beginner like me never knew existed like image, position, and even some game theory. It includes examples of how to angle shoot.

I still pull it out to share it's outrageous (and humorous) stereotyping of players by gender, race, clothing, and personal habits.
