I have "The man behind the shades". I quite enjoyed it- worth reading. Can't comment on the books I'm afraid.

It's the same book, just a different title.

Well two of them have the same title and all of them have overlapping authors, so that should be a little bit of a clue right there.

These are the same books. For some reason the American publisher liked the title "One of a Kind" better, the UK publisher liked "The Man Behind the Shades" better. Why? I couldn't tell you, but that's all there is to it.

Amazon, being the sort to sell everything, has all possible copies. AFAIK, most US bookstores will stock the "One of a Kind" version.

this was my assumption. it was the different page counts that was a little confusing. 344 320 316 are the repective page counts.
i guess i'll buy the cheapest, thanks all.

I finished this today. It's a really quick read, but so, so sad. Honestly tragic beyond words. I would recomend the book though.

I'd love pointers to any other books that deal with Stu Ungar. I'd like to read/learn more
