Ed Thorpe - "A Man for all markets" new autobio

Just published is Edward O. Thorp's autobiography A Man for All Markets.

I came home this afternoon and found a package from Amazon at my door; it was this fine tome.

My brother sent it to me, not in the spirit of "AP's are good guys," but that I actually told him that I esteem EOT as a man and ploymath, and was planning to get it, so he beat me to the punch.

Bless him.

For anyone with an interest in gaming, in math and science, or economic, or in a criticism of the faults of academia, and in the life of this man, (not just AP) - it is a must get book.

It's Thorp. No E at the end.

Check.
Embarrassing/habitual force of habit from contact with a bridge-playing friend of mine also named Thorp(e).

In any case, a good book on a good man.

Who has/will read it?

I thought maybe you were a swimming fan.

I will definitely read it.

Thanks Dan, just picked it up.

He's agreed to come on our radio show "after February 15." I'm hoping that translates into February 16.

I've finished the book. I liked it very much

Bob, EOT would be a distinguished and incredibly valuable guest.
Good show, as they say!
