About This Item
Bloomsbury Publishing, Soho Square, London 2001 Hardcover, 9¾" x 9" (25 x 23cms), with dust jacket with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket With its combined elements of skill, chance, and courage, and its democratic disregard for anything but a player's ability to ante-up, poker was destined to become the card game of choice in casinos and back rooms everywhere. From the first great Las Vegas marathon, in which Nick the Greek played Johnny Moss for five months straight, to the recent World Series of Poker, A Alvarez captures a subculture rich in legend. Here's a witty text and a lavish array of poker inspired illustrations.
