Bettie: Info on new books

[Bettie]

Hey gang,

I'm working on the next catalog, and have been doing a lot of research into new titles to add to our star line-up. In the course of doing so, I've come across some info I thought I'd pass along.

Blackbelt in Blackjack by Snyder, originally scheduled to come out November 1, isn't at the printer's yet. Most printers only need a month, but the woman I spoke with isn't sure it'll be ready by then.

BTW, Big Book of Blackjack isn't even on this woman's radar, so I have no clue what's going on there.

Brunson is putting out Super System 2, a completely new title, and that should be out in January. We will, by the way, be carrying the original Super System, and I should have it in about 2 weeks.

I've added Fred Renzey's 77 Ways to Get the Edge at Casino Poker: Playing and Beating the Best to our catalog, and it, too, should arrive in about 2 weeks.

A LOT of new poker titles will be out in the next 6 months or so, and we will not be carrying all of them. Names we know and trust, like Mike Caro, Mike Capelleti (I think I misspelled that), and a new book on no-limit through Malmuth's company. If you think that we overlook one as we continue to expand our poker offerings, please let me know so that I can bring it up with our poker panel (people I know and trust to help me make decisions on what poker books to carry).

Thanks,
Bettie

2+2(Malmuth/Sklansky) are also planning a 2 volume tournament book from Dan Harrington. As well as a tournament essays type book from current WSOP champ Greg Raymer.

I think Harrington's 1st volume is suppose to be ready sometime in November. Raymer's probably not until new year.

I'm not surprised that tournament poker books are the new wave, as that's what people are seeing on tv right now, everywhere they look. That's where the real money is, too. We currently carry 2 of Two Plus Two's tournament books, and they do very, VERY well. Those are Poker Tournament Strategies by Sylvester Suzuki, and Tournament Poker for Advanced Players by David Sklansky.
