    Shipping on Modern BlackJack-Physical book

    Hi Norm ,
    Was planning on getting the copies of both ,Part one and two, and will be adding a few funds to my PayPal for it and was wondering what the cost of shipping would be for Midwest area ? , hopefully I can pre-calculate that ,

    and if theres any coupon code that you might have (maybe the company gave you some good ones , as a seller?) I saw a spot for "enter code " for coupon , any good extra special coupons for AP's ?

    Thanks,
    Nikky

    Only way to figure shipping costs is to make a test order and cancel after it tells you the cost. They used to have coupons all the time. But, I haven't seen one in quite a while.

    Actually , which book would I need because - I would be getting it for extra FELT info like - index plays, bet - ramping , how to use FELT for 2D , 4D, and 6D , things like that ...

    That's mostly in vol I. Although the Blackjack Attack type tables for FELT are in Vol II.

    I'm getting the Second Edition , part II , (for all the SP21 / FELT stuff) , nice! looking forward to it!

    But is there anything extra specifically about FELT in the printed/Second Edition part one , that isn't on the online version already on q-fit?
