Billion Dollar Bunko - Simon Lovell (USED Copy)

  The book tackles an ambitious array of material divided into seven sections: Bar Bets; Some Bigger Hustles; Unfairgrounds and Crooked Carnivals; More Street Cons and Others; Cheating at Cards; Cheating with Dice; and Sneaky Ways to Beat the System, with hundreds of individual items all told. A major highlight of the book is the full-page pen-and-ink panels of "sequential art" drawn (and mostly written) by Alan Wassilak, that separate the content sections; done in a mock-lurid pulp comic style, these marvelous sheets are beautifully done and constitute my single favorite feature. (The dustjacket design is also clever.) USED - GOOD overall condition, hardcover with dust jacket,  419 pagesNote: The cover has been designed to look very used. It is actually in very good condition Former owner pasted pictures inside, as well as a colored label on the spine or front of book.
