Which Book Should I Write Next?

[El Diablo]

David,

"Perhaps I confused the issue by asking "what is best for the world". I really meant what makes most sense for me."

OK, so in algebra terms:
x = what is best for the world
y = what makes most sense for DS
x = y

hahaha

OK, seriously, even with your clarification, absolutely the algebra book. If you think there's a reasonable chance of this book being as good as you think it could be, then for many factors (importance of the book, amount it will help people, satisfaction for you, and money for 2+2) it is definitely the right answer.

Also, I think that book is much more challenging to do well. I bet I could write a "TOP for beginners" or "50 poker hands" book that would be more or less at the same level as your books. Not so with the algebra book (assuming you are correct about your abilities there).

Why waste your (our) time with all that other stuff? We should have paid attention in math class if we wanted to learn algebra; instead we cut class to go play five card flip stud.

"How to Pick Up Young Women" is what we really want. Why do you think we try so hard to make all that easy poker money? To impress other poker players?

The algebra book may certainly have the biggest audience in theory, but who knows David Sklansky outside the poker world?

For most people it's just another algebra book to chose from and maybe parents don't want it for their kids after reading about the authors other ventures on the backpage. It could get them hooked on gambling.

Still, I am quite curious how the world's best algebra teacher intends to tackle the subject.

Last but not least, since David is asking the readers of this board to do a consulting job for him to make some money for 2+2, I am asking myself what's in for me in this deal. Could it be the information from the books and if so, why do I have to pay twice for it then?
