For those of you who were unable to attend the convention, or simply didn't have room for it in your luggage, "The Gaming Table" is now available by mail. The 100 copies we had at the convention were sold out, but I do have more for those of you who don't yet have one.

"The Gaming Table" is the only book of its kind - it lists every casino that has ever existed anywhere in the world, with addresses, locations, dates of operation, and even owners where we were able to find that information. It also includes manufacturers' records from Jones Bros., Hunt & Co., USPC, Taylor & Co., H. C. Edwards, and others, including some from T. R. King and H. E. Mason.

While "The Gaming Table" is a book of casinos, not chips, the book does list the language found on chips, both initials and wording, to identify the source of the chips where we were able to do so. Some, of course, remain unknown.

Entries are cross-indexed so that a collector is able to find the source of a chip using either the language or initials on the chip, or the name of the casino.

At 550 pages, "The Gaming Table" also contains an introduction and an extensive bibliography for those who would like to conduct additional research.

TGT3 is available for $50 plus $10.30 for priority mail shipping.

Just drop me an e-mail at the address above for further information.
