202. If you have created a force, you owe it to yourself to check out this book to make sure you haven't trod an already well beaten path. Nothing wrong with reinventing something brilliant - you can be proud of your creative skills.
Some of the ideas in the book you will dismiss out of hand, but there are some great ideas in here too. (And don't be too hasty to dismiss an idea because it seems outdated - with a little thought you can often twist some of these ideas around into something very deceptive.
Also, check out the sections on forcing in Tarbell, Card College, Royal Road, and Expert Card Technique.
Then you will have covered the basic texts.
