Default A book I\'d like to see

This may exist somewhere but something I would really like to see is a book of short stories from the old dogs.. Amirilo, DB, TJ ect... nothing really about how to play, just stuff about games and experiances. Doyle adds some here and there in SS, TJ has them at the end of his book. But I would like to have one book. I think that might be the most interesting poker book ever to be written. If such a thing exist please let me know what it is

Hellmuth's book is Bad Beats And Lucky Draws.

Although it is by a single author, Ghosts At The Table by Des Wilson and coming out next year seems to be what the OP is looking for. My opinion is based on the description I saw on Amazon.

Purple,

You might also check out the book Aces And Kings. It covers a wide variety of people and I really enjoyed it. For a good book on Stu Unger, try One Of A Kind.

Glad I could help. We, KC guys, need to stick together.

Looking up players by name on Wikipedia sometimes results in some good stories about them.
