Thanks to a few folks who have written extremely nice things about Lost Vegas: The Redneck Riviera, Existentialist Conversations with Strippers, and the World Series of Poker. The best thing is that I didn't even have to bribe them, because they gave me a glowing review for free.
Here's a few reviews/mentionings of note...

Your 15% coupon cannot be used in conjunction with the free shipping coupon therefore the free shipping is cheaper than the 15%. I found no way to use both coupons at the same time
ReplyDeleteYeah, I should have added that multiple coupons cannot be used. Thanks for mentioning this.
ReplyDeleteNo offense whatsoever, I would have bought either way. I just thought it was good to know. Looking forward to the read
ReplyDeleteYeah, just came across this issue myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't need these reviews, I am 190 pages in, and would be finished already if I didn't have to work a lot of extra hours recently.
ReplyDeleteI urge everyone to buy a copy because the book is a fun read and to support Pauly for giving us years of great writing for free.
OK,
ReplyDeletewas just going to bitch like hell because now you tell us about the 15% after I already ordered. But as I got the free shipping the wind just got taken from my sails. Anyone that knows me knows I hate it when a good bitch gets preempted on me. Now the damned thing better get here and better be good or I'll be back. Actually good luck with it.
Long time fan of your work. I've been reading your blog now for well over 5 years. $22 is an easy way for me to show my support. Thanks for the entertainment over the years. Keep doing what you do!
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteI just finished my copy of Lost Vegas and I applaud your work. It isn't easy to deftly carve a peephole into the underbelly of the WSOP carnival while keeping lit that little flickering flame of hope that hovers over the desert. Though you've mentioned before that this book might give due cause to dissuade those who aspire to work the WSOP beat, but I think I'm more intrigued than ever. I'll be hitting up the various outlets in months to come, as I'd like to escape the dismal freelance graveyard that is Manhattan for a little poker writing somewhere, someplace. So, if you need a hired lackey, let me know.

I'm one of those tech geeks, so I'm waiting until October. Please don't hold it against me as your book is on my list of must reads.
ReplyDeleteBut, will the e-book format be published using EPUB (for those using the Nook) or using Kindle's propritary format?
Just curious...
i am eagerly waiting to watch entourage online cozi have missed some episodes of 3rd season.
