Default Content of Ace on the River

Is Barry G.'s book a strategy book or more of stories and examples. I don't want to buy it, thinking it's going to have insight into his playing style for tournaments, ring games and such and find out it's nothing more than a history of his career. Does anyone know what the contents of the book will be?

Thanks. Looks like it could be good, but I think I'll wait for some 2+2 reviews before making a decision. I don't know why he would need 100 full color photos, though. Any thoughts?

Thank God you started this! We needed a fourth thread about this book on the front screen of this forum.

Do we really need to hear from Barry Greensetein on issues of sexuality? Just thinking about made me throw up in my mouth a little.
