Suggest you send a Private Message to Dick Schmidt. The last I heard he had many new copies of the book.

I don t know if I am brteaching etiquette by mentioning any particular used book seller here,but if you do a google search for used books, you find large used book sellers...usually I can get the books for $5 or $10 that may cost
$30 or $40, and shipping is fairly cheap.

Dick Schmidt is probably your best bet. He has copies of the second edition paperback available and usually gives a pretty good price to PA members.

Gamblers Book Club doesn't have it listed. I checked www.abebooks.com, but they are under the impression the original edition hardback is a rare book, and copies are going for 35 bucks and up. Its really not all that rare and shows up on eBay fairly often, at better prices.

There is quite a bit of difference between the two books. The original has a chapter by Mike Pizzolla and a couple by Howard Sartin. The second edition is just Hambleton and Schmidt, but has some updated numbers and a nice chapter by Schmidt on using computer generated numbers.

I prize both editions of the book.

Good Luck,

socantra...

How to find him?????? It's easy, just read on. I do have a couple of cases of books left over in my garage, and I sell them new to PA members for $10. You can e-mail me at rschmidt02@earthlink.net.


Anyone else who wants one, please let me know. The perfect Christmas present. Buy two or three. The wife wants them out of the way!
