Next week I'm going to open a part of the online catalog where we give away stock I can't sell anymore. Before you get too excited, it's just going to be old reports and things that we inherited when Vik bought the company from Snyder years ago.

I'm posting here first because a few of the reports are down to their last 4-6, so I thought I'd do a first-come, first-serve on a few of these items to our DD members. The way it works is that, I will post here what I have and what my inventory is. The first however many people to e-mail me will get that report put aside in their name. You have to send me an SASE for the correct postage amount and I will send out the report when I get that. Sorry, but this is only for US addresses.

Please don't claim a report if you already own it. That's just bad karma. And don't claim a report if you aren't going to send the SASE ASAP. Bad mojo, that. And in an attempt to make things fair, you can only claim ONE of the rare reports. If you want a second title, let me know, and I will contact you if I still have any on Monday or if I have to give you your second choice because I ran out of the first. Sorry, but I want to spread the love as much as possible, and I only have 15 of these reports total.

E-mail me directly. Do NOT post here or risk me not seeing your message in time. Make sure you mention the offer in your subject heading so I notice it.

Please, no elbowing, no stepping on toes, and no cutting in line. These aren't Nintendo Wiis (finally got ours last week), but I'm sure they'll go fast. They are:

"Algebraic Approximation of Optimum Blackjack Strategy (Revised)" by Arnold Snyder, 1981 (4 reports; $.63 postage)

"The Development and Analysis of Winning Strategies for the Casino Game of Blackjack" by Julian Braun, 1975 (5 reports; $.63 postage)

"Does Casino Blackjack Differ from Computer-Simulated Blackjack?" by John Gwynn, Jr. and Arnold Snyder, 1987 (6 reports; $1.59 postage)

Check the online catalog next week for other not-quite-so-rare offerings. Thanks,
Bettie
