Trick Training Your Horse to Success
by Jan Sharp
Customer Reviews
Spectacular! Easy to Follow!, June 21, 2004
Reviewer: Linda Myers (Burton, OH United States)
Jan's book is the best book I've read on the subject of trick training for horses. I own other trick training books (and videos) and if you own Jan's book, you can pitch the others. She explains each concept simply and includes training "keys" and "tips" that are absolutes! She also includes some notes of caution - things that you need to watch out for. Learning from her experience makes trick training fun and easy! I highly recommend this book!
Trick Training Your Horse to Success, June 7, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
This is an excellent gambling book for anyone--not just someone who wants to train their horse to do tricks. It builds a better partnership and teaches the horse to be more responsive. Jan's explanations are clear--things that anyone can follow at home. The proof of her methods of training are in the horses she shows & the rave reviews of people who buy her foals. Her stallion, TS Black Tie Affair, has won world championships in many events and competes in everything from halter to dressage to speed classes! He's always good tempered and has excellent manners. And he loves to demonstrate his tricks!!! For those of you who are spotted horse fans, you'll love the illustrations in this book--they're all Pintos!

Expert strategy for Let it Ride
by Lenny Frome
Customer Reviews
A Must Read For LIR Players!, March 30, 2000
Reviewer: A LIR Player (Naperville,IL)
I have played using the information that the late Mr. Frome wrote and I found it to be very beneficial! I watched people at a Casino play the game and lose alot of money. By using the information in the book, I was able to take $100 and turn it into $1000 in 20 minutes.
Mr. Frome was the person that had completely calculated the game and the house "edge" so that the Nevada Gaming Comission could allow it to be played in its' Casinos.
The information is invaluable! I recommend this book to anyone that has watched the game and was unsure if they should play it or those that play the game and want to win more!

Winning 7-Card Stud: Transforming Home Poker Chumps into Casino Killers
by Ashley Adams
Customer Reviews
THE BEST 7 STUD BOOK IN PRINT, November 19, 2004
Reviewer: RICHARD ALBANESE (CHICAGO)
I have read this book several times and if you are a poker player or aspire to be one it will pay for itself rather quickly if you follow the advice contained in it. Ashley takes you from the basement home games to the casino environment arming you with everything you need to know before even sitting down. There are many books on holdem but very few on 7 stud written in recent times. Adams presents the reader with and entertaining and informative approach to seven card stud. I have read the few books on 7 stud and can tell you this one is the best. It gives you a gameplan to become a winner. Great for beginners or advanced players. Even Holdem players would find it a useful tool for picking up a new game.
A Wonderful Introduction, August 20, 2004
Reviewer: K. Bowen
If you're looking to learn the basics of 7-Card Stud, I can't imagine you'll find a better book (or a better value) than this one. Unlike most poker books, it's actually a pretty entertaining read and all the material is well-presented and organized.
I was already a profitable low-limit online Stud player before reading this book, but this book still helped my game quite a bit. There's some good advice in here regarding how to play in live casino games (especially if you're a newbie), game selection, identifying and playing against different types of players, etc.
As one of the reviews below mentions, this is a book for beginning and intermediate-level players and the advice is really only applicable for lower-limit games. You may also find that some of the advice on third street play in particular isn't really applicable to certain types of low-limit online games due to their betting structure.
But these are just minor nitpicks. Overall, this is an excellent book and a wonderful introduction to the game. If you're a new player, start with this book!

Sharpen Your Tactics
by Anatoly Lein, Boris Archangelsky
Customer Reviews
Late beginner / early intermediates must have this book, November 17, 2004
Reviewer: A. D. Davis "Brad D." (Nashville, TN)
I've had this book for about 2 months and think that it's an absolutely fantastic book. It's odd in that it has no text, just puzzle after puzzle. The puzzles are arranged thematically to guide the player through different tactical subjects -- discovered attacks, drawing techniques, forks, mating attacks, etc. I find this to be very effective. One plus compared to my other tactics book is the large number of puzzles. This allows the author to include many puzzles for a specific theme, therefore helping pattern recognition. My other puzzle book includes about 4x fewer puzzles, excluding the easier ones. Sharpen Your Tactics includes easier puzzles also. I think that this really helps beat the pattern into the player's brain.
This book is especially fantastic for good kid players, although an absolute beginner probably wouldn't get much out of it. I'd say that a kid with 6 months of experience could really benefit. My son is 8 and is really good for an 8 year old. The book has really improved his tactics. There are enough easier puzzles up front to build his confidence and interest. My other tactics book just smashed his confidence when he could barely do the first 4-5 puzzles. Sharpen Your Tactics includes a very large number of puzzles, so I'm sure the later ones will be really tough.
I have only two gripes. First, the puzzles are too small, with 6 on each page. They are easily legible, but I think 4 per page would've been better. The book is small, so it would be only medium-sized if it had 4 per page. There's a lot of white space between puzzles, so they could've made them a lot bigger without adding pages at all. Secondly, the binding is mediocre, but typical of most of my chess books. One of the front pages is starting to come out already. All of my other chess books are similarly put together, except for Pirc Alert, which is of outstanding physical quality. My new Accelerated Dragons book appears to be pretty good too, but the jury is still out.
