Fantastic autobiography by Bob Maheu and be assured that the true story of Howard Hughes is more interesting than the folklore. If you were able to hear Mr. Maheu keynote our convention banquet, you'll have that man's voice ringing in your ears thoughout.

A new Hughes biography that I liked alot and recommended by David Swartz is Howard Hughes Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrique by Geoff Schumacher. Very sympathetic to Hughes and Maheu and Vegas-centric by a Las Vegas author. Great coverage of the Hughes empire after HH passed away, very interesting take on the Melvin Dumar chapter and a poignant "what if..." chapter. Cheap on Amazon when I bought it.

I Want To Quit Winners by Harold Smith Sr. The down-the-rabbit-hole story of Harolds Club. All copies are autographed by Sr. You'll need to read Dwayne Kling's Harold's Club oral history, A Family Affair afterward to understand some of what was going on in Harold's head! , don't pay more than $10, shouldn't be hard to find.

Oh man, loved Poker Face!
