...was an excellent book - sort of a modern day rewrite of the old classic "The Green Felt Jungle" by Reid & Demaris - but with superior research and scholarship!

I've just started reading "Roll The Bones" by David G. Schwartz which claims to be "the first narrative history of gambling - from the Stone Age to the Internet Era." The book runs 500+ pages, so I should have a review for the ChipBoard in a couple weeks.
