I am curious as to which books an aspiring AP should read. Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. So far I have read:
Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong
Beat the Dealer by Ed Thorp
The Big Book of Blackjack by Arnold Snyder
Turning the Tables on Las Vegas by Ian Anderson
Burning the Tables on Las Vegas by Ian Anderson
You've Got Heat by Barfarkel
Black belt in Blackjack by Arnold Snyder

I'd say you're off to a very good start. I'd throw some Peter Griffin in there... guy was a genius.

Add a Don Schlesinger to your library.

And don't forget "Gambling 102" by some guy named Mike Shackleford.

Much as I support the Wiz, I think Gambling 102 might be a little too remedial for OP if he has already read that whole list of books.

I always recommend "God Wants You To Roll", but it is nonfiction. It's a story about 2 teenagers who pull off a multi-million dollar inheritance scam targeting churches and their members. One of the two, uses the casinos to launder the money playing Pai Gow. You do learn about things like CRT reports and how they are used though, so it could be useful.

And mainly for laughs and a few good stories, "How to Win" by Mike Goodman.
The most badly edited book, written by a casino executive back in the 60's.

As for BJ books, a few books is all you need from respected authors ( wong, snyder, etc). After that they are redundant , I should know - I have them all. No new concepts/strategies just rehashing the same info.

The first book I read was The World's Greatest Blackjack Book it is still my favorite. Of course that was in 1989 but the Hi-Opt I system it teaches is still reasonably respected. I enjoyed the stories and anecdotes.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

BlackJack Attack By Don Schlesinger is a must read. I also think Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong should be on that list.

"Gambling Wizards." It does not give an ounce of strategy but takes you inside the minds of APs and tells you the mentality and habits you need.
