McManus, James Positively Fifth Street: Murderers, Cheetahs, and Binion's World Series of Poker
Farrar Straus & Giroux 2003 0374236488 / 9780374236489 Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. Illustrated with photos. 422 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Price inside dustcover: $26.00 - In the spring of 2000. Harper's Magazine sent James McManus to Las Vegas to cover the World Series of Poker -- in particular, the mush-rooming progress of women in the $23 million event, and the murder of Ted Binion, the tournament's prodigal host, purportedly done in by a stripper and her boyfriend with a technique so outre it took a Manhattan pathologist to identify it. Whether a jury would convict the attractive young couple was another story altogether. But when McManus sets foot in town, the lure of the tables is too strong: he proceeds to risk his entire Harper's advance in a long-shot attempt to play in the tournament himself. Only with actual experience at the table (he tells his skeptical wife) can he capture the hair-raising subtleties of the kind of poker that determines the world champion. The heart of the book is his deliciously suspenseful account of the tournament itself -- the players, the hands, and his own unlikely progress in it. Written in the tradition of The Gambler and The Biggest Game in Town. Positively Fifth Street is a high-stakes adventure, and a terrifying but often hilarious account of one man's effort to understand what Edward O. Wilson has called "Pleistocene exigencies" -- the eros and logistics of our primary competitive instincts.

Sloane, Paul; MacHale, Des; Willis, Norman D.; Kay, Keith; De Schepper, Peter Brainstrains Power Puzzles
New York, New York, U.S.A. Sterling Pub Co Inc 2002 1402701942 / 9781402701948 Trade Paperback Very Good + No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
NO writing, marks or tears - Very colorful illustrations throughout - Tight spine - 352 pages - They're challenging, baffling, and wildly entertaining: here are 240 colorful, mind-boggling puzzles of every kind to sharpen anyone's thinking skills! Vivid optical illusions fool and tease the eye: try to find both a young girl and her grandmother in what seems to be a picture of only one woman. Or test those smarts on a different type of visual problem by figuring out which of six pieces isn't needed to make a cube. Sneaky lateral thinking puzzles are so tricky that there are extra clues to help: look at them first and then solve the riddle of why a tourist in London wouldn't ride the escalator in the subway station--even though he wanted to. It takes really creative reasoning to solve clever logic conundrums, including mathematical enigmas from the "addled arithmetician" and mini-mysteries to delight the armchair detective. And lots more stimulating fun.
