One Of The Best Books Available For Learning Basic Strategy
I first read this book in 1975 in my quest to become an accomplished card counter. At that time and even today it is the best book I read on learning the fundamentals of card counting. The part of the book on learning Basic Strategy and its importance are the best of any book available on the marketplace even today in 2001. At that time the author Lawrence Revere was selling his Advanced Point Count System and other BJ systems. He overrated his Advanced Point Count System. He had used Juliet Braun a computer programmer with IBM to compile all the data in devising this system. What he says about the Advanced Point Count System is way overrated and the majority of top expert BJ authorities believe the simple point count system as being the best because of its simplicity. Other than that the book is a classic and very well written. It is a must for anyone who wants to learn to be an expert card counter and I would rate it as a five star recommendation.

Playing Blackjack As a Business
This book is well written and covers basic through advanced play in a way that should be easy for any level of player to follow. Especially insightful and useful are the charts on strategy. Some people argue some of the concepts in this book are out of date; however, if studied and mastered you should find they still hold true depending on the rules of the particular casino your are playing. It is a worthy complement to other books on the subject written more recently. The more you know and the more you have mastered different stategies the better you play will be. This is a great resource.

An American standard written for the game!
This book should without a doubt be in your blackjack library. It is truly one of the standard books ever written on blackjack. I also recommend, Gregorian Strategy for multiple deck blackjack.
