Default 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!
