Jeez, Poker Books are a bit pricey....

Hell, all books in general cost too much. I bought both of the Harrington on Hold 'Em books and came to a grand total of 64 dollars (which me and nu2mdwst2 are splitting because he's a homo). I was going to buy that book on Stu Unger but was out of my price range.

Think of all the money you'll make once you've read them though

j/k

Seriously, poker books are a bit pricey, but the several I've bought have more then paid for themselves.

64bucks, that is only 7200 big bets.

Yeah TOGETHER plus the cost of tax (silly Americans......) was 64.09

I couldn't help myself, didn't feel like waiting to read it. With me and Nu2mdwst splitting it anyway, it's not really a big deal. With some free time to finally be able to read with winter break here at school, because once the semester starts again my free reading time goes down

I still have to finish Cappeletti's "How to Win at Omaha Hi-Lo" poker book sometime, and I will probably delay Hellmuth's "Bad Beats and Lucky Draws" after I finish these 2.

I don't think there's a need to buy books anywhere except Amazon

Yeah, it's kinda funny... getting poker books while deployed was the first time I ever checked Amazon... but now I will NEVER buy a book anywhere else.
