A photo of this book is available. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 306 pages. Synopsis: In 1988, best-selling biographer Anthony Holden spent one year living the life of a professional poker player. His mesmerizing account of that year went on to become a classic of the genre, an inspiration to innumerable poker players and poker memoirists who followed. Big Deal is his story of days and nights in Las Vegas, Malta, and Morocco, mingling with the greats, sharpening his game, perfecting his repartee, and learning a great deal about himself in the process. Poker, Holden would insist, is a paradigm of life at its most intense, a gladiatorial contest that brings out the best as well as the worst in people. The heroes and eccentrics of the poker world stalk the pages of this remarkable book, along with all the hairraising, nail-biting excitement of the game itself.

Holden, Anthony King Charles III: A Biography
New York, New York, U.S.A. Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1988 1555843093 / 9781555843090 First American Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-fine condition. Stated First American Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $19.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Illustrated with photos. Tight spine, bright pages. 242 pages. Publishers Weekly In Charles, Prince of Wales , British journalist Holden recorded the life of the heir to the throne from his birth in 1948 to age 30, where this sequel begins. Stylishly presented and informed, the text induces one to share the author's respect and sympathy for the prince. At 40, Charles is visibly and volubly involved in plans for improving conditions in the realm, defying those who object to his ``interference.'' Holden describes marital troubles that have made the prince graver, less outgoing, as the international media feature gossip about Princess Di's wandering eye. There is so much of absorbing interest in events effectively covered here that readers will want to wish the best of luck to a good man, the future King Charles III. Photos not seen by PW. (Mar.) Library Journal Not just another biography of Prince Charles of Great Britain (who may become Charles III, if he chooses that name), this work, commemorating Charles's 40th birthday in 1988 , is a disturbing analysis of Charles's personal side. In his earlier biography of Charles up to age 30 ( Prince Charles) , British journalist Holden painted Charles as upbeat and likable. Here, he appears as an isolated man, searching for purpose in his life. He seems to have found some of that purpose through his interest and influence in public housing. He does not appear to have found much satisfaction as a husband and father. Holden's portrait is painted in darker hues than that in other biographies, but it is probably the most insightful to date.

Holden, Anthony The Tarnished Crown: Princess Diana and the House of Windsor
Random House Inc 1993 0679424261 / 9780679424260 First American Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Very Good
Very-nice, clean copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First American Edition. Illustrated with color photos. 401 pages. NO writing, marks or tear inside book. - The marital troubles of Prince Charles and Princess Diana that have so engrossed the world are only one more downward step in the decline of the position of the royal family, a decline that began with the abdication of King Edward VII in 1936. There have been, and will be, many other books on the erosion of the House of Windsor, but no one is as qualified to chart its disintegration as Anthony Holden, Britain's leading royal commentator for more than a decade. His bestselling biography of the Prince of Wales, published in 1988 to a mixture of acclaim and controversy, was hailed by The Times of London as "definitive." Recent events have proved it remarkably prophetic. Renowned for the shrewdness of his insights, the accuracy of his reporting, and the reliability of his judgments, Mr. Holden argues that the British monarchy must change in order to survive beyond the reign of the incumbent. Even though the Queen has begun to pay taxes, many hard-pressed Britons still consider the monarchy's wealth disproportionate to the times. Following his separation from his popular wife, Prince Charles's prospects for inheriting the throne have been further compromised by the unseemly revelations of taped telephone conversations. What does the long-term future hold for Diana, Princess of Wales? Should the British monarchy surrender its postimperial splendor for the humbler styles of the "bicycle kings" of Scandinavia? In these pages Mr. Holden traces the collapse of the "family" monarchy, the true extent of the Queen's wealth, and the changing associations between Crown, Church, and Parliament. The author also analyzes the failure of four royal marriagesbesides Charles and Diana's, those of Princess Margaret, Prince Andrew, and Princess Anne - throwing new light on relations between the royals and those they have wed. He also examines the role played by British institutions, from the press to Downing Street, and looks ahead to the twenty-first century. Will Charles step aside
