I like the red ink for hearts and diamonds.

I agree although for my ultimate nitpick of the month, it's more like maroon than a bright red.

I like the subdued quality of the maroon

I liked the taste of the paper - Oaky, but with a faint hint of raspberry, and it closes with a fantastic citrus finish.

So do i. It's another part of the layout of the book that is better than all other poker books.

Re: Superficial \"Weighing the Odds\" comment
I agree, and don't think it's superficial at all. For me, it greatly increases the readability. I'm one of those lame players that likes the '4 color' option for the suits at Party. I don't have the foggiest what this adds to the printing cost, but it sure seems like an easy way to greatly improve a book (listening 2+2?).

Re: Superficial \"Weighing the Odds\" comment
I had no idea my publisher (Stanford Wong) was going to use the red, but when I saw it, it blew me away. I have a big problem with 2 color decks online, and always switch to the 4 color decks. When I saw the red heart and diamond, it was a similar difference to me. I'm glad other people like it too.
As for the cost, Stanford told me it was more expensive, and I vaguely remember something about being 50% more expensive as a whole, but I don't know exactly. The red is also the reason that the second printing of the book took so long, the manufacturer had to purchase a new printer (or machine, something like that) that would get multiple colors in easier. |

I think the general design of the book is VERY good (not just the cover which I have previously complimented).
I would love it if Mason would consider something similar for future 2+2 books (and future editions of current 2+2 books). |
