Anyone have this book? Contributors include Mike Caro and Bob Ciaffone. Are there many articles about no-limit or pot-limit, or is it mostly limit? Also curious about how many articles Bob Ciaffone contributed. Thanks!

Given the years, S&M are probably in there.

I refused to contribute. In exchange for several articles they told me I would get a free book, so I declined.
Best wishes, Mason |

I think they also said something about mentioning Two Plus Two Publishing and our other books. But in any case, it had virtually no value for articles which had clear value. Best wishes, Mason |

It appeared okay with noted authorities contributing such as Roy Cook and those you have named. There may be a little value in this for a collector or using the 'one good idea' criterion but you have to remember poker theory has come a loooooooooong way since 1994, to name one instance: the HOH series. I would give it a miss if I were you. |

This seems to be common in special-interest publishing. I've come across the same thing in other fields of writing, and I've responded as you did.

I bought this book at a library sale for $.10 today. (good deal eh?) I'm only four articles in, which were just about the history/evolution of poker, but its an entertaining read so far. I did see at least one article by Sklansky. I'll comment on the strategy content once I read it if there's any interest.

1 Free book?? That is not compensation that is a pure insult. That is like leaving a waiter or waitress a penny as a tip!
