	Middle Limit Holdem Poker
	Bob Ciaffone and Jim Brier
	If you want to learn by looking over the shoulder of an expert as he plays hundreds of tricky hands, this is the book for you. Every chapter is full of examples drawn from real play. Organized by hand type and street; a whole chapter just on how to play overcards on the flop, for instance. No pretty pictures or fancy charts in this book -- just solid advice cover to cover! Slightly shopworn. Cover shows wear, all pages are in excellent condition. A bargain. Regular retail price $25.00.

	Winning Low Limit HOLD'EM
	Lee Jones
	Covers it all from the basics of hand selection and pot odds through to more advanced concepts like the semibluff. Highly recommended as a first book of hold'em for a serious beginner. After reading this you'll be ready to tackle low limit games and move on to Miller's Small Stakes Hold'em for your second book. 2nd edition, 2000. Cover price $24.95.

	Gamesman Bridge
	Eddie Kantar
	A rarely seen early Kantar book, from way back in 1972. The story of a beginner named Stanley's journey to becoming a strong bridge player. Is it a bridge novel, or a lesson series taught with the classic Kantar wit sprinkled through it from beginning to end?

	The Modern Losing Trick Count
	Ron Klinger
	List price $20! If you are ready to look beyond the high-card point and refine your bidding judgment, this is the book for you. One of the great books on hand evaluation. The Losing Trick Count is a simple yet surprisingly accurate hand evaluation method, known in the 1930s but temporarily forgotten in the enthusiasm for point count bidding in the 40s and 50s. It has several advantages over HCP: it accounts naturally for the importance of having fitting rather than scattered honors; and because it forces you to think about counting tricks rather than points, it makes adjustments to the raw count simple -- instead of memorizing rules like subtracting a point for an unguarded face card, you simply count a card that the bidding tells you is unlikely to win a trick as a loser and vice versa!

	Encyclopedia of Card Play Techniques
	Guy Levé
	Perhaps the most complete catalogue of declarer-play techniques ever assembled. It opens with a summary of planning the play, then describes and shows an example of every known declarer play maneuver, from the mundane like suit establishment and the different kinds of finesses, through all sorts of endplays and coups to two dozen different kinds of trump squeezes. A great reference for the serious student of the game. List price $34.95! A fantastic collection of hands; I'd hate to see the cover price keep you from reading it.

	Easy Guide to Defensive Signals
	Julian Pottage
	How to choose which spot card to play, and how to tell what your partner's signals mean, broken down situation by situation: signals on partner's lead, signals on opponent's lead, discards, and so on. Many suit layouts and example hands; quiz and summary at the end of each chapter. New. Slightly shopworn cover. Retail price $16.95.
