REVIEW: Ed Miller's new book "Small Stakes Hold'Em" (page 13)

[Nate tha' Great]

Just finished Page 13 tonight. So far I'd have to say that I'M EXTREMLEY DISAPPOINTED with this book.

Onto some specifics:

- The words "Part One" and "Gambling Concepts" appear to be written using a SERIF FONT, probably Times New Roman. The use of a SERIF FONT is COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE for a TITLE PAGE that is looking to GRAB THE READERS ATTENTION. Particularly a TIRED OVERUSED serif like TNR. Lee Jones used a COMBINATION of serif and SANS SERIF FONTS and his book was MUCH BETTER.

- Making matters worse, the words are not CENTERED CORRECTLY ON THE PAGE. They are slightly closer to the BOTTOM MARGIN than the TOP MARGIN.

- The phrase PART ONE should be PROCEEDED BY A COLON. Carson makes much better use of COLONS AND SEMICOLONS and should have been consulted. Even better FLUSH THE TYPEWRITER DOWN THE TOILET AND TAKE A GRAMMER COURSE.

- There is an awful lot of BLANK SPACE ON THE PAGE. I will not even mention page 12 since I have not yet finished reading it, but it looks to be COMPLETELY BLANK.

I would expect more from a so-called "professional" book that cost $24.95. IT WILL TAKE ME SEVERAL DAYS OF RAPING THE LUXOR 1/2 FOR AS MUCH AS I USULALY DO TO MAKE UP THE LOST INCOME. To quote TV's popular Emenim you guys should have KICKED IT UP A NOTCH before publishing this PIECE OF SHITE!

It's early, but I don't see anyone beating this for post of the month.

Cant argue with that.

With the hyperbole and insults removed, I got the following from your post:

"....font....margin....grammar...blank space...."

Of these, the last could be an interesting topic. If there was anything else worth noting, whether expressed or implied, it alluded me.

Wrong forum.

I'd laugh more if I didn't waste so much time arguing pointlessly in that thread. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Did you also wipe your ass with the pages in this book? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

We use to use Dutch Roman. Do you think we should go back to that?

Best wishes,
