Re: USA TODAY on Poker Books
[ QUOTE ]
I guess it appeals to the curiosity of those who don't actually play poker or read about it. It is a General Audience piece and not intended for those who actually know a thing or two about poker literature.

yes. it's a general audience piece.
but the writer still f'ed it up:
Despite the game's popularity, few POKER books by mainstream publishers have done well. Only one — Bringing Down the House - has been in the top 50 of USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list in the past 10 years.
as I stated before....Bringing Down the House is NOT a poker-book.
It is a REALLY terrible mistake by this writer to say that this is the only POKER book to make the USA Today's best-sellers.
And after he establishes this as a POKER book he goes on to quote this particular author.
The headline of the article is about the popularity of POKER-books...yet this writer doesn't seem to understand that he is essentially interviewing a NON-POKER author about a NON-POKER book.
This is a truly moronic piece.
