Harrington on Cash Games: How to Win at No-Limit Hold’em Money Games: v. 1
The first years of the poker boom were fueled by the interest in no-limit hold em tournaments. Recently, however, players have been gravitating to another, even more complex form of hold em no-limit cash games.In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash game play. You ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value of supposedly weaker hands as the stack sizes increase, and how to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the size of the pot grows.

If you play no-limit hold em cash games, you need to read this book.
Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the only player to make the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2,576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In Harrington on Cash Games, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive books on no-limit cash games. These books will teach you what you need to know to be a winner in the cash game world.

No Spin: My Autobiography
‘My story, without the spin.’
From the start of his glittering career in 1992, to his official retirement from all formats of the game in 2013, Shane Warne had long desired to tell his incredible story without compromise. No Spin is that very story. It offers a compelling intimate voice, true insight and a pitch-side seat to one of cricket’s finest eras, making this one of the ultimate must-have sports autobiographies.
Shane was not only one of the greatest cricket legends: he was as close as the game had since Botham to a maverick genius on the field and a true rebel spirit off it, who always gave audiences what they wanted. Despite being the talismanic thorn in England’s side for nearly two decades of regular Ashes defeats, he was also much loved in the UK where he played cricket for Hampshire. He was also a much-admired figure in India and South Africa.
Alongside his mesmerising genius as a bowler, Shane was often a controversial figure, and in this book he talks with brutal honesty about some of the most challenging times in his life as a player. Honest, thoughtful, fearless and loved by millions, Shane was always his own man and this book is a testament to his brilliant career.

______________________Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket. The October yearling sales are where the big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions: millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested, and have never taken a step on the track.

GYM WANKER – A FOOLPROOF GUIDE TO GYM EXCELLENCE: A CLOSE OBSERVATION OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
AMAZON TOP 500 BEST SELLER!
A Very Funny Book – Howling With Laughter; Comedian Russell Kane
A Book Of Truths, An Encyclopedia Of Gym Life 5 Stars!!; Former Miss Olympia Competitor Kimberley Anne Jones
The absolute first of its kind! A book dedicated to life within the gymnasium. In this book author Kevin Horak takes us through 60 different types of Gym W**ker that exist within modern day gym life; from sweaty w**ker, to the very fast w**ker, trendy tattoo w**ker and of course the Donald Trump hair manoeuvre w**ker.
This highly funny book makes fun of gym life and the author grades himself as a Level 3 Class w**ker. Throughout the book there are tick boxes for the reader to indentify how big a gym w**ker they are complete with a scoring system to see if they can achieve a Level 10 Max Rating!
At times somewhat irreverent and with examples of human behaviour that will make you shiver, Horak has taken modern day living and put a humorous twist on it written equally for women as much as men. With amazing illustrations throughout by award winning artist Lyndon White this book is what the fair gym folk have been waiting for and let s face it, we all know someone who dedicates their life to the gym (or say they do!).
TAKEN FROM THE REAR COVER:
Have you got what it takes to become an accomplished gym w**ker? You may already even be one and never knew! Being a gym wa**er is NOT for everyone, for some it s a natural progression of their personality and for others it s almost a calling. Advanced level w**kerbility can take years of solid graft and determination be warned and prepared; you will never master it all, not everyone can be a total gym w**ker.
Within this book there are pointers for the amateur w**ker right up to the more advanced where you can try a variety of w**ker combinations; some w**kerish styles will take time, practice and patience. Do not rush into your w**ker characterisms, start with little gym w**ker steps first. If you are determined enough becoming an exceptional gym w**ker may well be within your grasp, people may not say it, but they will look at you and say to themselves look at that absolute w**ker.
Long may you reign you complete w**ker.

Winning Against the Odds: My Life in Gambling and Politics
Winning Against the Odds tells the captivating story of one of England’s most fascinating and eccentric men.Stuart Wheeler went to Eton and Oxford. He was an officer in the Welsh Guards, a barrister, an investment banker and a major donor to the Conservative Party. You might think that he has led a life of impeccably conformist upper-class respectability. You’d be wrong.
For Wheeler is also an illegitimate child adopted at the age of two, a maverick businessman who made his fortune on the back of `the most brilliant idea that anyone had had of his generation’ and a devoted gambler who has been thrown out of more than one Las Vegas casino.
He played cards with Lord Lucan two nights before his infamous disappearance, effectively invented spread-betting with the creation in 1974 of IG Index and gave William Hague’s Conservatives GBP5 million (still the biggest political donation in British history) before being expelled from the Tories, joining UKIP and becoming a key figure in Vote Leave during the Brexit referendum campaign.
Forthright, principled and always entertaining, Winning against the Odds is a story of bets won and lost, of outrageous personalities and dramatic events, and of a singular mind that engages with the world around it in a completely unique and compelling way.
