I just received Don's Blackjack Attack 3 and it is quite a tome. It has several new sections. Now I have BJA here and at home.
The softcover edition of BJA3 had new content not contained in the hardcover. The current reprint of the softcover does not contain any new material; rather, it corrects all known typos in the previous softcover edition.
Don
Got it - looking fwd to reading it and soaking it in.
Find a typo in the new reprint of BJA3.
You got that right. The search is on. I have no aspirations that we have found them all, but it's been years since anyone reported any news ones, so you gotta think we have a shot.
Still, considering the number of pages and the incredible amount of numbers, charts, etc., I'm afraid perfection isn't of this world.
Don
If I see any, I'll be sure to pass em on to you!
but it is in your e-mail (you meant new, not news). That will have to do for now, as I am just getting ready to have at my newly arrived copy of BJA3. Looking forward to it!
By the way, will you award a small prize to anyone finding a typo? Always looking for e.v. :-)
Yes, I'll give a prize. Suggest something.
Don
I have no idea of what you might have available, but here are suggestions.
1. A small memento related to the process or production of BJ Attack. Could just be a copy of a letter, e-mail, photo, etc.
2. A deck of cards from a significant old casino.
3. An old hat, T-shirt or tie with a casino or BJ theme.
4. Interesting picture.
5. Small piece of literature from the early days.
6. Anything you used to practice with in your earlier playing days.
7. Copy of interesting excerpt from your old playing records.
Any of the above signed by you, of course.
Much easier for me to find something from that list than for you to find the typo! :-)
Don
Maybe you already know of a minor one buried in a table! If that is the case, I doubt I will find it, because so many interested experts have already reviewed it in the past. It there is one in the text, I have a good shot, because they usually jump out at me.
Whatever I know, in terms of a number in a table, or a word or punctuation mark has been corrected. I've listed the known typos before and won't belabor the point.
I think the chances of finding a word are actually nil. I can't swear for the numbers, because, well, there are tens of thousands of them, and, in many cases, there's actually no way to know if they're correct or not.
In any event, happy hunting!
Don
You autographed the first 500 of the first edition. Have you autograph any of the new ones?
The copies are in Las Vegas and I'm in New York, so I'm afraid that isn't going to happen.
Don
many flights to LV!!!
We can hope not too far in the distant future you will have the opportunity to sign a few books
Thanks so much, Don.
