Once again there were some very interesting and apparently well-produced new books at this year's convention.

I spoke with Marty Kaplan and Neal Silverman (Chequers.com) about whether they thought my book review section was receiving enough viewership to update it. I haven't done so in a couple of years. Both of them urged me to update the reviews, and I plan to do so.

If you've recently published a book having to do with casino collectibles and would like me to review it on Chequers, please drop me an e-mail at the above address.

Much as I'd like to purchase every book published in the hobby, I don't have the resources, and purchase only those that relate directly to my own collecting interests.

If you'd like to see a book (or a new edition) included in the reviews, please contact the author(s) and ask them to get in touch with me.
