Does anyone have any suggestions on any other new books on gaming as I hope to read a few more books while on vacation?
Does anyone know of any gambling books (in general not necessarily blackjack related) that are done on audible? =P

Quote: RomesMay or may not be for you... If you've ever "done" blackjack then I love Nathaniel Tilton's "The Blackjack Life". Of course I also believe this book is a mirror to my business partner and my own experience so maybe I'm biased, but I seriously loved this book out of all the gambling related books I've read.

Yes, I am looking forward to DJTC and Zenkings book "The Chinese Manifesto of Mazda Miata repair".
written in 1910, than any other gambling book.
It's fascinating stuff and amazing how little

I have read it and really enjoyed it.
If you have read Beat the Dealer , some of his early anecdotes are retold along with his time working with Claude Shannon.
After that he gets more into his investment career.
Munchkin's Gambing Wizards is good,also the Ultimate edge by Mark Billings.

Thank you, I have read both of those. I'm just wondering if anything interesting has came out in the last year or two that I may have missed.

I've read Munchkins book 10 times at least.
Learn something every time I do.

Until I see Nate Tilton and Romes side by side in a room with me, I won't be convinced they aren't the same author.
TK Kenyons novella The Law of Large Numbers was educating.
The Luck of The Drawer: A Vegas Myth was mindlessly stupid but somehow entertaining.
I recently re-read Ian Anderson's masterpiece and thought it held up very well.

Foreword by MaxPen: Why the government and/or reptilians are eroding the USD. Spell checks by Axelwolf. Coloring section by RS.
I really enjoy reading about stories of gambling, so I recommend "The man with the $100k breasts and other gambling stories", the sequel "Telling Lies and getting paid" "Whales in the desert", and of course the book the movie Casino was based on.
Bob Dancer's "Million Dollar Video Poker" was a fun read too.
I havr done a number of gambling book reviews in the past. I suggest you may check a few of those out
