“Dalton’s book is one of a kind on the subject of blackjack. It’s a dictionary of terms, a resource guide, a tutorial, and a history book, all bound together in 200 very readable pages. … As implied by the title, this is, indeed, a reference book — one that belongs in the library of both serious and recreational blackjack players.”

“The best blackjack resource book of its kind in print. Innovative, informative and interesting. Highly recommended.”
