Gambling releases us from the real world. We are isolated. There is no outside, no past or future, only here and now ... We suspend ourselves at a comfortable level of arousal ... There's no feeling like the one when our money hits the table. - Lance Humble and Carl Cooper (The World's Greatest Blackjack Book)

Hi Michael,
Thanks for a great site.
I’m an avid collector of Bj books.
I just saw one on eBay by Ken Feldman so I thought you might want to add that to your reference list.
I was not previously aware of this book .The listing is still up on eBay.
Thanks John!!!!
