Default Does this Sklansky Book Exist?

was browsing overstock.com and Came across this

Never heard of it and it's not mentioned on the site or on the inside jacket of any two plus two books.

Any review on this? Seems pretty interesting. Also, any idea why 2p2 isnt making it available on the website?

And I'm sure you can find some reviews, RolfSlotboom.com has one I tend to recall

And with regards to twoplustwo, I found it here

I haven't read it for years and was a noob back then anyway ... so I'll refrain from giving an opinion as I do not have one.

Nick Christenson, who has many good reviews of gambling books on his site, wrote this review.

Here is the "capsule" version:

[ QUOTE ]
This is the latest collection of essays by poker expert extraordinaire David Sklansky. It's similar to his well worthwhile work Sklansky on Poker. His insights on games of poker are generally very accurate and inciteful and are well worth study by the poker student. His articles on Life, while interesting, are not outstanding. Even if you strongly dislike this section, there is easily sufficient material here to make the purchase of this book a good value.

Wonderful book but it will only have a marginal effect on your poker winnings.
