So, just as I have several other times, I bumped into Phil Jensen at a local "thrift" store. He had a shopping cart chock full of books. While I rarely look at the books, it seems that books are his focus. We got to talking and he pulled out this copy of a Bicentennial book that I was not familiar with. I have a very minor collection of Nevada casino, Bicentennial-themed items, from chips to coasters, to postcards. I was not familiar with this book, which was commisioned by the Nevada State, Bicentennial Committee that participated in the US Bicentennial Observance Program.

Well, to make a long story short, Phil gave up this copy, for me to purchase and add to my collection. Printed in 1976, it includes an article on Gaming Chips written by Phil.

What a treasure!! Thanks Phil!!!!!
