This is precious.

A batch of Eliot Jacobson's excellent handbook on Designing Casino table games was wrapped in a cover of a Lesbian soft porn romance novel called "Hot Line," to be distributed at the Raving Consulting booth at the BNP Media Host Development Conference. A manufacturing/QA error on a printing run.

Read the story here. His seminal work.

LOL

Poor Eliot.

But he did make some good jokes in the post.

The cover may also get even more people to read it!

To borrow from Seinfeld : Not that there's anything wrong with that. :-)

When looking under the Forums heading only the first four words of the thread title can be seen so this is going to get some hits.

Just to be clear, exactly one book in the box was printed that way. My hypothesis is that one cover was left in the machine from the previous printing.

Eh hem, "seminal" work?

Quite possibly, but there was a history of printing complaints so who knows what covers may be out there and what page sequences there may be.

Since soft core porn is such a profitable business niche, you may now move all your videos over to the WIGS channel on YouTube which markets soap operas about strong female characters.

Eliot -

Thanks for having a sense of humor about this.

Your post, the responses, and the comments here, all gave me a good laugh.

You should send a copy to have the cover signed by Ms. Grey.

"But she quickly convinced me that she had indeed found the book packed in the box. I then had to try to convince her that I had not accidentally left one of my books inside."

LMAO. You must have been sweating bullets.

Poor Eliot.



Wait. Eliot is poor? I doubt that. But if so, he should have remained on right, good, light (as opposed to dark side...lol) of the tables. :-)

Now, about the title if this thread. "Our own teliot.....". Hey Dan not all of us consider Eliot...um...family. lol

You'll need to buy the original "Hot Line" to find that out, I couldn't possibly tell you.

I wonder if the printing error happened in reverse? I can only imagine some poor soul's disappointment when they were excited to receive their porn book in the mail only to see a book on casino game design!

Rubber-duckie Blackjack, playing card images are on the bottom of the rubber-duckies. One of the lesbians was a green rubber-duckie dealer and she was flashing her hole-duck on almost every hand, the other lesbian, an Advantage Ducker, took the bathtub for nearly 20K in the course of an hour. Teliot identified the problem with the hole-ducking dealer and put a quick stop to it.
