A MUST BOOK FOR ALL LEVELS OF SEWING EXPERIENCE

I FOUND THIS BOOK MOST HELPFUL, IT HELPED ME OUT WHEN I WAS MOST STUCK. THE PICTURES AND DIAGRAMS ARE ALSO MOST HELPFUL. I AM LEARNING HOW TO SEW AND HOW TO FOLLOW PATTERNS AND WITH THE HELP OF THIS BOOK I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETED A QUITE COMPLICATED DRESS. WITHOUT THE HELP OF THIS BOOK, MY DRESS WOULD NOW BE IN SHREDS AS THE PATTERN I BOUGHT IS NOT SELF EXPLANITORY. THE BOOK EXPLAINS THE VARIOUS MATERIALS, HOW TO CUT OUT AND UNDERSTAND SEWING PATTERNS, INSERTING ZIPS, HOW TO ATTACH LINING, ALTERATIONS TO CLOTHES AND ALSO APPLIQUE AND PATCHWORK QUILTS. A DEFINITE MUST FOR ALL LEVELS OF SEWING EXPERIENCE

Excellent book for Blackjack players of any skill level

Frank Scoblete is the expert-in-residence of a weekly radio show on gaming in Memphis, TN. So when I was looking for a book to learn more about Blackjack, I decided to buy Franks book. I have not been disappointed. He breaks down the instruction portion of the book into three logical sections; the basic rules, basic strategy and card counting. In this format, you can start reading at the level you are at. But even if you already know how to play the game perfectly, the book is still a fun read. Especially for the sections on obtaining comps, the not-so-well-known ways to gain an advantage on the casinos and all the people you find playing across the table. If you have ever heard about the million dollar bum that walked into the casino with his social security check, wound up winning over a million dollars at the blackjack tables, then turned around and lost most of it back, you will want to read the whole story from the people that waited on this guy. This chapter is worth the price of the book alone. The main reason I did not give a five star rating to this book is because he gives the basic strategy in verbal form, rather than in chart form, which would be easier for a novice player to copy and take to the casino. But these charts are available on the internet at http://www.blackjackinfo.com. I highly recommend this site for getting the basic strategy charts for any set of rules you run up against. But overall, the book is an easy read and gives every blackjack player information that he/she can use the next time you go to the casino.

Great Book for Every level of Player

Frank Scoblete divides his book into four main parts. Basic strategy and the truth about the statistics of the game, then advanced playing method such as card counting and other techniques like shuffle-tracking and dealer tells. The dealer tells section is the most complete and interesting I have ever read on the topic by the way. Then Scoblete analyzes the various questions people have about the game and answers them. The most lively and fun part of the book are Scobletes stories and his "diary" section at the end. These are more than worth the price of the book alone. I would say that Frank Scoblete is the best gambling writer in the business and this book proves that. It is one of a handful of the best blackjack books ever written -- as it says in the title!
