What James has to say about book critics versus contributors to this hobby should be emphasized considering the many positive ways there are to expand our hobby. You don't have to write a book or catalog, just do something positive rather than negative. Its easier to compliment than criticize. Take any aspect of the gaming picture and specialize an article to share the history of a specific casino or chip history. Not only have Campiglia, Wells, and Rene Nezhoda spent a lot of time and effort to create positive steps to inform, but htey leave history of chipping something forever. A special thanks to James and Steve for contributing 20 of their books to the ANA Seminar so each chipper that attends will have a very complete library....Thanks....Mel
