WTH Update

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Everyone:

For those interested, all blue lines for Winning in Tough Hold 'em Games; Short-Handed and High-Stakes Concepts and Theory for Limit Hold ’em by Nick "Stoxtrader" Grudzien and Geoff "Zobags" Herzog have now been approved. There was one last minor fix which will be done Monday morning and then it's time to print. So our April 1 publication date, which will actually be April 2 since the first is a Sunday looks reasonable. (If we don't meet April 2, we should have books shortly thereafter.)

As soon as we get books we start fulfilling all orders. If you ordered through this site, we should begin shipping the day we get books. If you ordered from Amazon (or another source), keep in mind that we have to ship the books to them first. So Amazon won't show "in stock" for a few more days. We'll also be shipping a large number to Borders/Waldenbooks, and expect to receive orders from Barnes & Noble in the near future.

Best wishes,
Mason

Great news. I'm sure many of us are looking forward to this book.

Workin' on a Sunday.

Mason, you're the MAN!

I guess this means you can start riding herd on Ed & the Boys full time? Get that book on the fast track? Hmm?

damn Ive already ordered it through Amazon, and I want this book as soon as is humanly possible. Been waiting forever for a book like this......oh well.

Hi phydaux:

We have a number of book projects in the works including a couple not yet announced. It's not my policy to "ride herd" on authors since we want the book well done as opposed to just fast done.

As for the Flynn, Mehta, Miller book, the original manuscript needs more work and it has been sent back to the authors for that purpose. However, I have emphasized that quality is more important than speed.

Also, because of our other projects, we will work on each book, one at a time, as an acceptable manuscript comes in. Because I don't know at this point in time which book will show up in an acceptable form first, it's hard to say the exact publication dates. For example, the book by Stox and Zobags actually came in a little early.

In addition, I'm looking at another manuscript right now by a previously unknown (to me anyway) author that so far looks quite good. So it's actually possible that this may be our next published book.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi Mason.

Can you comment on what game(s) this book covers?

BTW, looking very forward to the Flynn/Mehta/Miller book and the Harrington/Robertie book as well.

That's quoted from Mason's original post and should answer your question.

I think you misunderstood 1p0kerboy's question. He's not asking about stoxtrader's book. He's asking about the previously unknown (to Mason) author's book.

I think Decsoft's answer was a good way to deflect the actual question. Mason shouldn't disclose what the book is about until he decides if 2+2 wants to publish the book (and cuts a deal with the author).

I figured this might be the case, which is why I asked if he can discuss the general topic(s) of the book.
