There are some very interesting hand analysis's in this book if you can ignore the odd games it discusses.  It details from 6 players, their POV's when playing several to many hands.

As I mentioned it would be a handy book to have for the rules of those kitchen games many of us remember playing before the internet was invented.  It tells pretty decent logic, with less math, games involving wild cards, a usual favorite at home games.  It brings up the general probabilities and overall maths involved, but if you can make change for a dollar, they are not confusing.

Of interest is a mention of the first community card showing up in 'Spit in the Ocean'.  4 card draw with a single community card. Morphed quick into that card being wild.

For a book published in the 70's, it treats modern concepts with old names (or total lack of names).  It talks about outs, without calling them outs.  It does not mention the name Razz when discussing Hi/Lo games, which is less strange as I have thought that the name Razz came into being in the late 70's.
