thank you barnes and noble

The B&N 'skin' nearest me (called Bookstar....but their membership cards are B&N) have a LOT of the 2+2 books EXCEPT for SSHE which I find interesting.

TOP, HEFAP, HEP as well as POP, GTAOT, Gambling for a living (I think $100k is in the title somehwere).
But still no SSHE (last time I was there anyway).

The local B&N here puts Ken Warren books in the prime slots [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The 2+2 books are just randomly in the shelves, decent selection though

Hiya -

When I first thought that I really wanted to study this game instead of just playing it, I picked up SuperSystem and Play Poker Like the Pros at Barnes and Noble...

Regarding the Hellmuth book...this is before I knew better...

My next book was the 2 + 2 Hold 'Em Poker at Barnes and Noble. After that, I got any 2 + 2 book that I could find at Barnes and Noble...

Your serious players (and I'm not sure if I'm in this category yet) will find the literature that will help them and work to understand it. I don't think they are the players you will be facing the majority of the time..

FWIW

Hi AC:

Borders has been great for us over the years. In fact, it's fair to say that we probably wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for Borders. But now, thanks to the poker boom, all the major players are treating us great and we expect it to continue.

Best wishes,

Mason

Hi Grisgra:

Based on my experience, your fears are ill founded. Our books also help to promote more games. Thus you have more games to select the better games from.

In addition, many players who never read our books frequently try to emulate the play of others who have. Of course they don't understand the underlying reasons as to why certain plays are only right in certain situations. Again you benefit from that.

best wishes,
Mason

Hi Kurn:

Both Borders and B&N have carried our books since 1996. But Borders has always had a much larger selection. Now B&N is catching up.

By the way, for those of you in the South, Books-a-Million now stocks some of our tites. In addition, you should be able to find some of our titles in Waldenbooks (which is owned by Borders) as well as many other stores.

best wishes,
mason

Either Dec 1st or 2nd I was at the B&N closest to me (on Hyy 6 and Westheimer in Houston) and they had SSHE as well as some other 2+2 books. I have a membership card with them and I have bought most of my poker books not available there from their on line store.

I do not agree.

I picked up my first poker book a year ago when I knew nothing about poker or 2+2. Went to borders, picked up 5 or 6 different books and just sat there for a while and browsed. It was obvious to me that the 2+2 books were the way to go (I picked up holdem poker and TOP that day, HPFAP later...).

I think the potential thinking player can recognize a good poker book (or any other game) from a bad one by flipping the pages for 10-15 minutes. The other types of player...who cares...it won't really make any difference what book they pick.

Hey! Thanks gusser!
