Awesome news. I had recently talked with somebody from Penguin and they had hinted that it may be coming out in the future. But they wouldn't give me such a definitive answer. Thanks for posting this.

I agree with all of the above about the Card College books. I just recently reread them all. And I can't believe the little things I pick up each time I reread them - whether it's the first volume or the last.

On the Spot is the first thing I wanted to recommend as well.

She's the best for creative nonfiction. I love her style of writing. And I've read just about everything she's written. First pick that comes to mind is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I try to read it about once a year. (and I hit post and see that Al e Cat Dabra...

I use Costco. Or Rite Aid usually has the 4 packs for 15 bucks or so.

haha same.

I have not. I'll have to check it out. Thanks. Dope. Looks like you married the right one!

Since you liked Principia so much, have you read Harapan Ong's other book, Close Culls? It's under 20 bucks at Penguin. And it's a pretty fast read. It has a lot of cool ideas in it. My only problem is, my cull sucks. I've been working on it forever and it's still choppy. I like his version of...

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

At the Card Table by Darwin Ortiz has just been recently rereleased. It has some great routines in it. There's a dealing demonstration in the beginning that is actually pretty easy if you can second deal. It looks like you're doing much more than that. And if you get Expert Portfolio 1 and...

I've been wanting that one for a while now. And Penguin recently had it in their OpenBox deals. I got greedy watching the price go down and somebody else scooped it up on me.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but I've never seen a copy for sale... :(

Card College > RRTCM and Expert Card Technique. Though everybody should read Expert at the Card Table. I don't even know how many times I've read it. I'm slightly obsessed with the history of that one.

Ah yeah, those are the prices I would expect for an out of print book that everybody seems to love. For some reason I thought you were going to say something way higher. And I love when you find a great deal like that. It also warms my heart to hear of somebody else finding that deal as well.

Wow. I think it's pretty awesome what you guys do here every Saturday. But there's gotta be one in every bunch that has to be an A hole. Congrats Widdo.

I guess you could say I'm a secret magician. I rarely perform for people. But I love practicing moves. A lot of it so complicated, I'll never feel confident performing. I guess you could say I'm a move junkie. When I do perform (maybe 1 or 2 times a year for friends or family, when they...

I bought that one around the time it came out. What's a good deal on it now, out of curiosity? I didn't know people were looking for it. I'm sorry I encouraged you guys to spend so much time looking at pricing for By Forces Unseen. That was not my intent on mentioning that book. I was just...

The number one thing I've gotten from the book is - your secret moves should look exactly like your natural moves. I forget exactly how he words it. But it's naturalness in motion or whatever. I try to keep this in mind whenever I'm working on something new. I go through the motions as if I'm...

I'm not sure I can bring myself to pay more than $100 for a book. I just wait patiently until I find a killer deal, or it comes back into print one day. Like RealityOne said, it's bound to come back in print since it seems to be so popular and penguin now owns the rights.

I really like the Green Monarchs. First, I love green backed decks. I just think they're classy af. And the design on Monarchs is just super sharp.
