    Are we about to expect a BJA4 anytime soon ?

    Is that anywhere in your head Don ?
    Considering you have to reprint BJA3, that’s definitely a sign that there’s a NEED for your books, and that BJ isn’t dying yet hehe !

    Do you have any ideas of possible adding for a BJA4 ? What you think was missing in th 3rd ? What you would like it to be ?

    Or don’t you really plan releasing a 4th edition ever ?

    Tease us ! you already have this whole forum as 100% customers I believe lol
    Wayne Gretzky once said that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Life’s too short for regrets.

    No, not now. The book is shipped from the printer tomorrow. I'm anxious to see it.

    "Ever" is a long time, but I've resisted for a good while. Frankly, there really isn't too much missing. It's unwieldy to think of going much beyond the almost 550 pages of the current edition. Again, I had wanted to write up the discussion and research of perfect play and maybe even Tarzan's attempt at perfection, but, unfortunately, I couldn't get Eric Farmer to cooperate, like dozens of other blackjack experts had, on a collaboration.

    Almost all. Zee lost his copy ten years ago and hasn't been able to afford a replacement yet!

    BJA4 should include updates and the latest research on the regaled underground FBM ASC.

    Don - Sorry to go OT in this thread, but you haven't responded to my question in the floating advantage thread and it's been a few days:

    Thought maybe you missed it in all the forum noise. Thanks.

    If Don included a chapter on the FBM ASC, I suspect the publisher’s lawyers would require a clearly legible disclaimer on the front cover: “Warning, utilizing some of the methods contained herein may result in temporary loss of focus, dependent upon the count, and your grip!”

    Because it's a new publisher, a new printer, some edits have been made, and, as usual, I obsess over the small stuff.
