I purchased this as a Christmas gift (and was shocked at the price and the fact there are NOT any Gin Rummy specific books out there!)... The recepient of the book LOVES it and says it is a great book and has really helped.... So it was worth the money:)
Great Book

This book has a lot of statistical information in it. It is a lot better than most modern gin rummy books. Read this book plus Jacoby and Wander's books to get started on the right track in gin.
"Go Fish" for this book!

This book is excellent and I feel one of the best of its genre. It will help your game, and hence help you win lots and lots of money. The author must be a darned good card player, that's for sure!
