Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
how did we get from " In addition, we now have the manuscript for our long awaited next book, World-Class High-Stakes and Shorthanded Limit Hold 'em by Ray Zee and David Fromm. We expect to be releasing it in either late September or early october"
to "but this book is now indefinitely delayed." the inquiring minds want to know , why , how come, and what does this mean for two plus two aka can you can release an differnt book, is there an opening. that statement about it being delayed means to me that it will not be coming out at all in publisher talk right? I can only imagine that the book was delayed for the manuscript didnt work out, and enough time and energy was spennt on it so it would be too exhausting to further do so..

[/ QUOTE ] Hi MASTERHOLMES: Your quote is a pretty good summary of what has happened, and everyone involved is very disappointed. That's all I have to say at this time. Best wishes, Mason

Re: Status Ray Zee\'s Limit Hold\'em Book?
Wow, awful news. I was really, really looking forward to this one more than any other 2+2 title ever. I guess now we just have to hope that D&B actually manage to release their shorthanded book. Whether or not that will ever happen is anyones guess.

Thanks for all your good work Mason... and back to reading Stox I go ...

Stox's Tough Hold 'em Games surveys a wide array of solid winning concepts, but I certainly hope it's not the last word on shorthanded limit. Mason's comments hint that this manuscript would need major reconstruction to be publishable. Based on Fromm's DVD lessons alone, I can't fathom that the hours he put into World Class bore no fruit. He should take the best 100-150pp. of the manuscript and bounce it off StellarWind, Entity, milesdyson, and other 6-max gurus. Even if the end result read like a Pynchon novel with the pages out of order, I'd shell out cash for it.
