About This Item
Written by Sir Philip Richardson, baronet, this work was intended as a guide to casino games, specifically Roulette, Trente et Quarante, and Boule. Primarily, its goal was to unmask the so-called "systems" devised to beat such games as ultimately destined to failure.
In addition to writing, Sir Philip Richardson was also captain of the 1912 British Olympic team, and competed in shooting.
This volume is good condition with a dust jacket also in good condition. It is not price clipped.
