    First one is obviously drivel. Probably all the reviews written by the same person -- likely one of the authors! Utterly worthless.

    I have the second one. Enjoyable read. Legitimate. Nicely written.

    No comment about the third, other than you could probably subscribe to Anthony Curtis's Las Vegas Advisor and do just as well.

    I second Don's post. Blackjack insiders was a pretty good book. I just got done reading 21 a journal, not a bad book - obviously dated. Ordered Colin's Jones book the other day, should arrive next week. Hoping it will be a good read like some others......

    I disagree. I read Colin's book. it's a good read and would be of benefit to a newer player (or a longer term player sho can't remember what he's been told a hundred times).

    Blackjack Life by Nathaniel Tilton is another good one.
    Repeat Until Rich by Josh Axlerad was also interesting, but a little dark.

    I agree. Both are worth reading.

    I read both and really enjoyed both. In fact, I have reread blackjack life a few times. I wish i would have read it 10 years ago to realize the commitment and attention to detail needed.
    Both books were entertaining and get a thumbs up.

    Has anyone read Blackjack Autumn, by Barry Meadow? I saw it listed in the back of Colin Jones' book.

    What is 21 a journal? Who is the author?
