Erdnase, S.W. The Expert at the Card Table. [Chicago]: Author, 1902. First Edition. Publisher?s cloth lettered in gilt. Illustrated with over 100 drawings ?from life? by Marshall D. Smith. 8vo. Cloth lightly soiled, a few short tears and chips to flyleaves and terminal leaves, rear hinge weak, pages bright overall. Good. Unquestionably the single most mythologized book related to gambling, cheating, and card sharping ever produced, since its initial publication in 1902 by the mysterious author ?Erdnase,? this treatise on the ?science and art of manipulating cards? has never been out of print.
