Good book! Good price! Good servvice! That about sums it up for me. I got a great deal on what I believe is a must read for all hold'em tournament players. This was delivered to me in a timely manner. This all adds up to me coming back to Amazon for my future book buys. Thank you Amazon.

Outstanding book on Texas Hold 'Em. I can't imagine playing without having read this. But read Volume I first.
Kindle Version is a Perfect Copy! February 5, 2010

This is a review of the Kindle Version.
This classic by superstar Hold'em Tournament player Dan Harrington is well regarded by experienced poker players everywhere. It is a "classic" and a worthy read despite the fact that some of the techniques are so widely known that they have lost much of their effectiveness. There is a multitude of good reviews on the content, which I will not discuss. Instead, I will discuss the merits of the Kindle edition.
This is one of the best Kindle editions of a paper poker book that I've seen so far - most graphics-heavy poker books don't translate that well. (I also own paper copies of this series, so I can compare the two readily). First, the text itself is not plagued by the transcription errors and typos that are common in most Kindle versions. (I don't know why it's so hard for them to proofread Kindle versions carefully before they put them up for sale, but that's another issue.) The text in this book is exactly like the original, without any transcription errors.
Second, the Kindle version does an excellent job of reproducing the diagrams from the original paper book. This book is loaded with diagrams, and some Kindle poker books don't handle these well, especially when you change the typeface size on your kindle. This book is outstanding in this area.
As I write this, the price discount for the Kindle version compared to the paper version is only a couple of bucks, but I can't complain. In fact, the kindle version to me is even more valuable than my paper versions, due to portability. The kindle is shaping up to be a great device for serious poker players, because we can keep our Gus Hansen, Dan Harrington, and other books all in one small package to read during travel time to the casinos.
GREAT BOOK December 9, 2009

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ON POKER I HAVE READ SO FAR I RECOMMENDED THIS IS A MUST READ BUT HOPFULLY NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE READ THIS OR WE MIGHT BE PLAYING THE SAME GAME
This is a great, great book! October 27, 2009

This book is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. If you play online hold 'em this is a great book to start with to understand the strategies. It improved my play tremendously to where I began to win tournaments and understand and predict my opponents' actions. The "Problems" presented in the book are hypothetical game situations that require you to decide what you should do when faced with a certain table situation. These are INVALUABLE to helping you learn what to look for, how to evaluate it, and how to react. If you're tired of losing money, read and understand this book and you will begin to win.
