Almost Heresy.
I can throw anything out of my house almost, except a book.
That I consider bordering on sin (for me).

Foxie,
I know what you mean. But I have BOXES of them. I spend almost $2k a year on books!
That's why they need a good home. <G>

Good point, are we Authors? Get in line and write a book before assuming the Right to reject or destroy.
I completely agree with the sin part.
It's a VERY short line. If you choose to make a comment, first you'll need to go back to the back of the line and write your First book!
Keep every book you ever owned.
The best horse will (probably) win the Derby despite trouble real or imagined. This is not true because I say it is, It's true because that's reality. Has been and logically will be.

Congratulations! What else can you do? write a book? Name a book about anything (walking?) and just throw it out because you already know how to do that, and even I can do that. Possibly you know almost everything written by any author, and if so, you don't need books.
Meanwhile Socrates wrote in The Apology he knew nothing.

The great thing about sarcasm is that there is always someone who thinks you are serious.

Yeah Buckeye, pretty clearly Handiman made a joke. I laughed at it. Thought it was pretty good Handiman 
I enjoyed Handicapping the Wall Street Way. Simple handicapping but smart.

AUGH! Worst book ever. It only cost like $10 but the anger I feel at my stolen time and money is immense. Nothing smart in this book. Hate hate hate it.

possibly my objections to "a joke" I didn't get --include-- a little politeness goes a long way.
I'm not here to discourage throwing out things. If it's a published book, I'd think twice about that.

You know what, I agree it wasn't the greatest book on handicapping. But it did teach a simple lesson how to pay attention to tote action and picking up on overlays, especially on maidens I think. It's a very small book with not alot of info or in depth info but I just though for begginers, it's not bad. Just based on it's lessons on tote action for maidens. But yes I agree in terms of if you want a book to teach you alot or get deep into the world of handicapping, this book is NOT it.
