Jim -I am not quite finished with your book. I just couldn't wait any longer to see if I could find your email address somehow, and stumbled across this site in the process. It's hard to know where to begin. First of all, I wish I had known that your book covered far more than just the two topics of the WSOP and the murder trial. If I did, I would have read it a LOT sooner. I just wanted to tell you that I have read a LOT of books on a LOT of different subjects in my 55 years, and your book is one of the best I have ever read, in any genre, by anyone. Your style is unlike anyone else's (of whom I am aware) and I absolutely love the way you go off on a tangent, deal with a variety of subjects, then bring it all back together to make your point. That you are well-educated, and well-read comes across without cramming it down the reader's throat, and the way you write directly to your reader hits just the right mark, as far as this reader is concerned.You come across as a genuine human being, as well as an excellent author, and I hope, at some point to say hi in person.I doubt that we will meet in a final table anywhere, although I do try to play some poker every time I get to Las Vegas. Holdem has done a lot to kill my favorite games of 7 stud high/low and omaha high/low, but I will keep a lookout for you, just to be able to say hello in person.I look forward to your next book with much anticipation. Good luck to you! Bud IzenKeizer Oregon
