Re: Matt Matros\'s book
I didn't say Henry Ford invented the automobile. And obviously what Ford was working on wasn't a theoretical abstraction, that's sort of the point. I guess I should've put quotes around "theoretical abstraction." Anyway, the whole thing was just an analogy, and either you buy it or you don't. It was never meant to be an in-depth look at the progression of the automobile from idea to everyday object.

Re: Matt Matros\'s book
Matt, I really enjoyed your book. It was entertaining, educational and a quick, easy read.
I really enjoyed the section about Hellmuth. I wouldn't be surprised if Phil put webcams all over his house so we could see how the "best player in the world" spends his day. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

There's just the very direct implication that there was no such thing as an automobile until Henry Ford came along. Just a nit. No biggy. I've even seen supposedly educational websites stating that Henry Ford invented the automobile. So...what's the novel about ..? Any poker related content?

Re: Matt Matros\'s book
Oh man, I haven't worked on the novel since I finished grad school 18 months ago. I've been playing poker and working on the Erick Lindgren book, which should be out any day now. And also any day now, I want to get back to the fiction writing. The novel, in its most recent form, does not have any poker content. But you never know.

Re: Matt Matros\'s book
I have the poker books on my shelf sorted by category. ie: limit books, NL books, theory books, tourny books, etc.
Matros' book is in the same category with Helmuth and a couple of others... it is: "How to sell Poker Books by..." Doc edit: ps: That doesn't make it a bad read. It is a good read. Just not very useful.
