Book
Hardcover. Condition: Collectible - Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine blue, pink and white decorative dj. A tried and true method for beating the house at blackjack (I can attest to it as I put myself through college partly using this book) . 236 pp. including index plus notes on author. This worked great in the 60's on single decks. It is still very relevant, but the house now uses multiple decks and it's hard to find a single deck with low minimum bets like the heyday of the 60's. where you could score big! In any case, if you play blackjack, you should read it. 7th printing.
