REVIEW: Ed Miller\'s new book \"Small Stakes Hold\'Em\" (page 13)
Just finished Page 13 tonight. So far I'd have to say that I'M EXTREMLEY DISAPPOINTED with this book.
Onto some specifics: - The words "Part One" and "Gambling Concepts" appear to be written using a SERIF FONT, probably Times New Roman. The use of a SERIF FONT is COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE for a TITLE PAGE that is looking to GRAB THE READERS ATTENTION. Particularly a TIRED OVERUSED serif like TNR. Lee Jones used a COMBINATION of serif and SANS SERIF FONTS and his book was MUCH BETTER. - Making matters worse, the words are not CENTERED CORRECTLY ON THE PAGE. They are slightly closer to the BOTTOM MARGIN than the TOP MARGIN. - The phrase PART ONE should be PROCEEDED BY A COLON. Carson makes much better use of COLONS AND SEMICOLONS and should have been consulted. Even better FLUSH THE TYPEWRITER DOWN THE TOILET AND TAKE A GRAMMER COURSE. - There is an awful lot of BLANK SPACE ON THE PAGE. I will not even mention page 12 since I have not yet finished reading it, but it looks to be COMPLETELY BLANK. I would expect more from a so-called "professional" book that cost $24.95. IT WILL TAKE ME SEVERAL DAYS OF RAPING THE LUXOR 1/2 FOR AS MUCH AS I USULALY DO TO MAKE UP THE LOST INCOME. To quote TV's popular Emenim you guys should have KICKED IT UP A NOTCH before publishing this PIECE OF SHITE!

With the hyperbole and insults removed, I got the following from your post:
"....font....margin....grammar...blank space...." Of these, the last could be an interesting topic. If there was anything else worth noting, whether expressed or implied, it alluded me. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] That usage was prompted by these quotes from edrugtrader's rantings: [ QUOTE ] enough energy to elude that i am wrong, or not worth dealing with, but not enough intelligence to actually back that up with an explanation? [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] i would be more inclined to use tact if the book didn't elude that "if you disagree you are wrong" on every other page. [/ QUOTE ] This is what I get for trying to be a smartass.
