Sorry to go off topic, but does that affiliate link get Blonde money for any Amazon purchases? Coming up to xmas with most pressies bought off Amazon I might as well "give something back" given I'm fecking useless at actually playing on the cardroom Smiley.

And if it does, I would be tempted at this time of year to publicise it more prominently Smiley.

And to go back to topic, the best author I've read has to be John Vorhaus (IMHO). Not sure whether any of his are aimed at beginners though.
