Roll the…update

June 1st, 2006 by Dave

I’ve updated the pages for Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling to reflect the impending publication date, October 5, 2006, and added tons of information about the book, including an annotated table of contents. You can already pre-order on amazon.com, and I’ll add links to other online booksellers as they become available.

In other news, I can now officially show pictures of the cover:
Roll the Bones

As we get closer to October 5, I’ll announce signings and the like. I’m supposed to do a national casino tour, so wherever you live in the US, I may be coming to a casino, bingo hall, or parti-mutuel facility near you. And of course the book is as close as your favorite bookseller.

In other news, I’m tweaking the sidebar, and have temporarily lost the links and a few other features.

    Are you going to be touring outside of the US? Let me know if you come to Jordan, I’d love to come to your signing!

    Dave, I also must mention that all of the guys on the cover look like big time ukes, in the cutest way possible! That in and of itself should be a big seller =)
