Just glancing through it I can tell this book is going to be amazing. Some of these concepts I've never seen in any other book before.

I guess this means that you all can be expecting your copies today or in the next day or so!

Have fun!

Does it tell you how to play each of the hands preflop in short handed play? (Like the old book except the old book was for 8 players at a table)

Not quite sure that I follow your question. It doesn't appear to show how to play specific hands, but it has some concepts and several examples and quizzes.

K let me try that again, in part 5 of HOH it goes through how to play different ranges of hands in 4 or 5 different Cases but it is with 8 people at the table. Does HOH2 have this but at short handed? (If you glance back at part 5 in HOH you will probably know what i am talking about)

thanks,

Got it !!

Once there in the Gambler's Book Las Vegas; I also bought "The professor, the banker and the suicide king" by M Craig and "Aces and Kings" by M Kaplan and B Reagan.

Planning on reading the Harrington book today to prepare for tomorrow's WSOP NL $2000 event.

Amazon was discounting. I paid less than $20 for my copy. Can't wait for it to arrive.
