Ed's Poker Book Collection
Last update and revision: December 14, 2004

 

Below is a photograph of my collection of poker books.

I first began collecting and reading poker books in the mid-to-late 1970s. Several of my books are brand new and can be found in bookstores today, but many of them are long out of print and can only be found, if you're lucky, in used bookstores.
