Great book so far. I have found an error on page 54. The author calls Phil Ivey " Paul Ivey ".

Yea, they must have had builders to make the sets. They probably had electricians, plumbers and designers as well .

Bob Ecclestone, yes I believe he was in one or two of the first series. |

My copy of the book is missing pages 155-170. After the picture section it jumps backwards to page 139 and has a duplicate section 139-154 then leaps forward to page 171!
So basically I'm missing pages 155 to 170 and have two copies of pages 139-154!
Anyone else find this? I will email the publisher.
ps it's a good read.

I've been given this book today. Should help pass the time when there is nothing to do in Vegas!  Alright, I'll read it on the plane. |

Just read this thread.
Have read the book and found it to be excellant, slightly biased as Des is a friend of mine from back in sunny cornwall.
He is currently working on his 2nd book, to do with the "history of the game" due to be published, i believe 2008.
he is also a very good live player, having played many times on the Cornwall Poker Circuit, Des is a perfect gentleman in all aspects and if he happens to come across this, i wish you well Sir.
Did you do a review Snoopy?
