{ thoughts on a world of chance from David G. Schwartz }

Book busy

November 29th, 2005 by Dave

Don’t expect too many updates this week or next: I’m editing the manuscript for Roll the Bones. I’ve got to condense my 769-page manuscript into a lively, readable narrative without sacrificing the detail. This will take up most of my free time–I’ll probably take a few days off work, lock myself in, and plow through it. On the upside, you’ll be seeing what is hopefully a decent world history of gambling on the market next year. On the downside, no commentary from me about the day’s chance-related news.

If you really want to read something, try my new column in the Business Press, or this one from Casino Connection.
