SMITH, R.A. Poker to Win. N.p: Author, 1925. First edition. Black printed wrappers (wraps stained with discoloration; edges thumbed). 111pp. 8vo. 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) have appeared, the first edition offered here remains quite scarce.
