Smith, R.A. Poker to Win. N.p: Author, 1925. First edition. Black printed wrappers. 111pp. 8vo. Faint tide mark, minor wear to cover. Scarce. A treatise on card sharping, including false shuffles, false deals, cons, tricks, and other sleight-of-hand dodges used to get the money dishonestly while playing poker. Though countless copies of the GBC reprint (including an introduction by magician Charlie Miller) continue to circulate, the original edition offered here is truly scarce.
