Slightly disappointed at the coverage of the game especially with regards to odds and betting. As a beginner it was important for me to understand one game well instead of a list of dozens of games with no depth. Having said that this is a "Little Black Book" so it might have been too much expectation on my part for any significant coverage. The most interesting part of the book were the quotations at the beginning of each chapter.Bottom Line: if you are a beginner(like me) this is not what you are looking for.
