In this rich and varied treasury of fact and fiction, Kohn K. Hutchens has gathered together some of the world's best writing on the dramatic and spellbinding world of gambling. Here the reader will find a gallery of fabulous characters such as the inforgettable Wilson Mizner, who blazed a trail from the Yukon to Broadway a wit and playboy, but who was ever the con man; Titanic Thompson, who emerged from an Arkansas farm to become the master of the "sure thing"; and Yellow Kid Weil, the Chicago expert in outlandish capers. 316 pages hardbound 1977
