    I'm proud to announce today the immediate availability of my new E-book:

    [​IMG]

    Priced at just $14.95, this new E-book is packed with tournament tips to extend your game to the next level.

    In particular, the audience here at BJT will be interested to see these brand-new articles in this collection:
    • The Magic Numbers You Should Know for Every Tournament
    • The Return of the "Rule of 2": A new use for an old friend.
    • How Position Affects Micro-Leads: A topic I've never seen discussed before.
    These three items are exclusively available in the new E-book, and have never before appeared in print. I think you'll find that these items alone are easily worth the price of the E-book.

    In addition, Henry Tamburin and I chose some of my best columns from Blackjack Insider from the past few years to re-edit and professionally typeset for the E-book. In all, you get 25 articles of in-depth tournament advice.

    Buy your copy of "How to Win More Blackjack Tournaments" today.

    Congratulations! I’ve been reading your BJI articles for a while now. It’s great to see a new resource for tournament players. Maybe I’ll become the 31st tournament player in the West!

    -Sonny-

    P.S. - Maybe I'll see you soon Barney Stone. :)

    arrrrr

    What does the middle initial stand for?

    Just downloaded it, can't wait to read it. Can I ask, is this "THE BOOK" or is there likely to be a hardback in the future?

    Cheers

    I've got a binder full...

    of you're interesting articles from BJInsider (around 40), but these three new articles, in my mind, are well worth the price of buyin your online collection.

    Just read the first half

    Couldn't wait to read the book, so I sat down and read the first half in one sitting. Outstanding Ken. A real contribution to TBJ.

    Thanks guys.

    No Reachy, this isn't "The" book, which is still merely an infant in terms of the manuscript. I kept putting Henry off for a long time about this e-book idea, until finally I agreed to look at the material I already had available for it.

    Once I realized just how much material already existed, I readily agreed to go forward with this project, but I wanted to be careful to deliver value for my existing audience who likely had seen most of these columns before.

    I therefore spent a fair amount of time deciding what new material to add. At this price point, I believe that the value of the 3 new articles justifies the low purchase price. And if you've missed any of the other included columns over the last few years, there's a lot of good stuff in there.

    Also, Reachy, the "R" is for Roger.

    "How to win......."

    Great book Ken. I finished a speed read at 2:00 AM. Now I'm starting to

    read again more slowly while taking notes. This info should be able to elevate

    all of us to higher levels of play.

    Thanks for taking the time to share.

    Andy, you should have immediately received an email with a link to download. You may want to check your spam folder in case it got filtered into there.

    Barney, yes, the E-book is in PDF format and should work fine on a Mac.

    Andy, I just bought and downloaded the e book in less than 2 minutes. The download button was on the payment screen that came up after my credit card was accepted, fwiw....

    Maxwell, I don't know. There are no immediate plans to do a print copy, but it is possible in the future. Another alternative is printing the E-book. I had a copy printed at Kinko's for about $17, including color front page, binding and a clear plastic cover.

    Worth every penny, it's a great read. I printed mine and put it in a binder but would love to have a hardcopy one day as well.
