During the past few weeks when it rains I've been fitting in my speed walks (when you are fifty years old walking fast is exercise /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) at local shopping malls.
Anyway, I've already run into several kiosks selling chip sets and other poker paraphernalia. I guess that isn't surprising. What did flip me out was walking through Robinsons-May (a major mall based Southern California department store chain). On the main floor just behind the perfume near the escalators were two large center isle displays with more poker stuff. Front and center was a display of poker books. Most of them were poker boom garbage books. What did surprise me was seeing one pile ten deep of Sklansky's Theory of Poker.
I never thought I'd live to see TOP in a department store.

PS Is Gary Carson's book next? Would it belong in Nordstroms? /images/graemlins/grin.gif
