like most blackjack books, its filled with basic info. but its a pretty decent book for someone who wants to learn the basic strategy, the rules and a little psychology advice when playing. for 10 bucks, its a decent enough pile of information, its a quick read and tells you what you need to know to play well. avery keeps trying to advertise his counting systems a little too much though. million dollar blackjack costs twice as much and has 100 times more info... and covers counting systems without shelling out an extra 100 bucks
