Just curious which one I should get, Caro's Book of Tells or his Tells DVD? Appreciate any opinions.

Also, on the same note, has anyone seen this site or now anything about it. I saw it posted on another site and it seems too good to be true:

I own and have read the book. It's great. I haven't watched the DVD, but I know you can't go wrong with the book.

I burned by own DVD from all the videos here:

I think both the book and the videos (from the website above -- I'm not sure if the DVD available for sale has additional materials) are both useful. If I had to pick just one, I'd get the book. But I'm a book person anyway.

i have both, although my dvd is a constructed version as well. the book is obviously more thourough, however it does have a few weak points. first, it is a reprint from the '70's so the fonts and organization are dated. second,
Caro mentions a lot of statistics in relation to the effectiveness of each tell. IMO these are worthless as there was no valid methodology for obtaining the numbers (use as a general guideline at best).

i found the dvd to be a better teaching tool. i did go back and power through the book for any additional info.

cheers,

The book is absolutely amazing. It's a must have if you want to have a fighting chance in NL games live.
