You are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity.

Farewell!

Come on... no ones owns more than 70 poker books. If you think you do, I want to see a list.

Hell, I've published reviews of (quick count) 84 of them:
http://www.jetcafe.org/~npc/reviews/...y-subject.html

I've read a bunch more that I haven't reviewed, and I've read and reviewed a few that aren't yet on the web site. I have been sent about 30 (give or take) poker books in the last few years that I haven't had time to read yet. I have a bunch more that don't fit into any of these categories.

I guess you want really exact numbers, which is most of why I'm not answering this poll.

Some people may know exactly how many poker books they have. I do for instance, since they're all in one place. If your not sure exactly how many you have, your best guess is OK.

FWIW, I made a mistake and answered 29, but I actually own 32. I've also given away 3 of them.

I have 10 right now.
I WANT THEM ALL!!!

Too many options, redo you survey as 0-5 6-10 11-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 More than 30.

I considered that it might be overly specific to count one by one, but it looks like it's shaping up to a pretty good approximation of a bell curve centered around 10 books with a blip in the 40-50 book range. (Based on results so far.)

There's another blip in the over 70 range, but I wonder if that is accurate. I think there's always some respondents to surveys who get a kick out of checking off the least likely response.

Mine are all in one place too; I just didn't feel like counting.
