I heard from a local Las Vegas wholesaler and reseller today, Mike Minkoff of Professional Poker. He has received both Advanced Limit Hold’em Strategy and Limit Hold’em: Winning Short-Handed Strategies, which means other stores, resellers, and venues should get their orders in the next few days as well. I expect to get mine very soon as well. You can order from him or wait for others to offer or post availability. They will also be available from the CardPlayer site.

As soon as I have my shipment, I will give instructions for getting personalized autographed copies direct from me. These will be sold at the cover price (I cannot offer discounts that compete with full price resellers) plus shipping (but not handling…I will drive them to the post office for free). Stay tuned if you wish one, as it should be soon, and “quantities will be limited,” though not very . I am sure it will make a lovely holiday gift, as I will write pretty much whatever you wish.

We will also re-open the forum to new members shortly. I should have an announcement within a week on how to join. It will be a bit complex to avoid the bot-spam problem we had before, but mostly it will require you to send an e-mail to a designated address with your desired username.

Well, I am excited that the books are here. I hope many of you get a chance to read one or both, and that you will enjoy and learn something.
