Little Ben: New Book

[Little Ben]

Sorry if you've covered this before (i've been away for a while), but is the Rick 'Night Train' Blaine book any good? I'm thinking of a European tour and need all the help I can get.
The idea is just to sample the culture of these foreign countries, if we pass a casino I maybe tempted just to pop in for an hour or two.

Cheers

P.s Just in case Mr. Blaine has more than one book; the one i'm considering buying is on the advantageplayer homepage.

If it wasn't any good, we wouldn't be carrying it! Seriously, this is one of those books that is most definitely worth owning, especially if you are at the beginner/intermediate level (and most everone is). It combines the text of his two previous books, Blackjack Blueprint and Blackjack in the Zone (along with some additional material), both of which were very much in demand while in their former editions.

Here is the blurb that I wrote for the back cover of Rick's book:

Blurb for Blackjack Blueprint

Blackjack Blueprint, by Rick Blaine, is the second in a series of monographs by the crafty blackjack pro. Already, in Blackjack in the Zone, we were treated to Blaine?s expertise and no-nonsense style of writing. This time, the author has created the quintessential treatise on blackjack team play.

For 15 years, Blaine has participated on teams, both as a player-investor and manager. It?s safe to say that there isn?t a single aspect of the endeavor that has escaped Rick?s meticulous eye. If you?ve ever wondered how to form a team, become a member of an existing organization, manage a team, or create team documents, such as manuals and accounting sheets, this is the book for you. The title tells the story: from soup to nuts, this is the recipe, the blueprint, for achieving success through blackjack team play. I urge you to read this compelling work.

Why must I continue put my foot in my mouth???? I should just learn to trust experienced counters.

Thanks :-)
