Al,

I'm glad the books have arrived at Pi Yee Press. Your ad for the new softcover edition should carry some mention of the spectacular new Appendix D (see below). I've attached the Preface for your readers' convenience.

Third Edition � Softcover

It�s been eight months since the publication of the hardcover edition of BJA3, and, frankly, I couldn�t be more pleased with the excitement that the book has generated in the blackjack community. I wrote, in my Preface to that third edition, that it �contains just about everything I know about the game of blackjack,� and intimated that there
might not be any further revisions of the book. But, there was a softcover version of BJA3 in the offing, and I am pleased to announce that it contains a major addition of historic proportions: a brand-new Appendix D, featuring completely revised and expanded tables of effects of removal, for playing and betting, which improve on
the work of the legendary Peter Griffin. We have Zenfighter (more about him in the appendix) and Cacarulo to thank for this monumental study, which I trust will be of immense value to blackjack players and researchers everywhere.

The book you now hold in your hands is the most voluminous reference work on casino 21 in existence, comprising 576 total pages and over 400 tables and charts. Needless to say, its creation involved a prodigious amount of work, not only for the author and his collaborators, but also for the publishers and proofreaders, who, once
again, have made a Herculean effort to get everything �just right.� It would be hard to describe the level of detail into which we all entered as we fine-tuned the text of the hardcover BJA3, searching for the inevitable gremlins that are typos, omissions, and stylistic inconsistencies. Doubtless, we haven�t found them all, but it is unquestionably true that the present incarnation of BJA3 is the most accurate and most painstakingly proofread version of them all, and I am extremely proud to sign my name to what is perhaps the final edition of Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros� Way. I hope that you will enjoy it.
