It is one of the best.
Blackbelt in Blackjack is one of the best books written on Blackjack. I assume you have the new, third edition (blue cover, available at Barnes & Noble). All of the editions are excellent. The author, Arnold Snyder is one of the most respected in the advantage blackjack community. For more than 20 years, Arnold published a quarterly blackjack journal that shared with its readers some of the greatest breakthroughs in the game. Much of that information is contained in the new edition of Blackbelt in Blackjack. For more information about Arnold Snyder, check out his website, www.blackjackforumonline.com.

Where have all the mythology sections gone?
...long time passing...
The essays I wrote on mythology (and many other topics) were removed from this site around September of last year, as much of that material was being wrapped up for my book. If there is a dead link on this site, please let me know.

Truer words were never spoken. While the poster is at it, he oughta pick up Blackjack Wisdom as he is able.

Maybe; but he better get a grip. Fame is fleeting. What took 20 years to earn can be lost in 20 minutes.

Other Authors
"Maybe; but he better get a grip. Fame is fleeting. What took 20 years to earn can be lost in 20 minutes."
That statement is not releveant to the initial post.
But I agree, Blackjack Wisdom is excellent as well. Any blackjack book by a respected author is good (Thorp, Revere, Snyder, Schlesinger, Wong, Andersen are all respected authors.) Blackjack Attack by Don Schlesinger is another excellent book that I highly recommend.
And I can't forget The Blackjack Zone, by our host at this site, Eliot Jacobson. It is an excellent work.

But it was relevant to a statement you made in the post I was responding to.
Anthony seems like a new guy. In your answer you made a statement of fact. I felt the desire to amplify or clarify it as I saw fit.
Nothing more. Nothing less.

Arnold has great knowledge.
If it wasn't for Arnold's teachings,I would not be the BJ player I am today. When Arnold speaks(or writes)people listen in confidence. Arnold tell's it like it is. He does not tell it like he thinks it is,which is the problem of many BJ authors who mimic BJ books. What do you mean by," He better get a grip,fame is falling,..20 years lost in 20 minutes,blah,blah...!? What book are you reading?

Controversy
Sun Runner is referring to the ongoing controversy pertaining to Arnold's review of David McDowell's book, Blackjack Ace Prediction.
If you would like to read this information go to www.blackjackforumonline and www.advantageplayer.com
I would not like to see a discussion about this controversy on this message board. JMHO.
As far as the original question, I think we can all agree that the information contained within Blackbelt in Blackjack is top notch and should be read by all blackjack players starting out.

Agree absolutely.
And Todd, I have three of Snyder's books; I would be hard pressed to part with any of them.

Actually the 20 minute clock started ticking way before that, but as you say ...

You have the best book in your hands
BBIBJ is the most useful, practical and up-to-date (3rd, blue edition) treatise on the subject. You can use every bit of it and you may simply pick a count system that you are most comfortable with. I have played zen for 6 years after playing Uston and Revere before that.
Snyder gives you everything in his book. Then all you need is perhaps some more <u>basic</u> from some of the older books jsut for bakcground. Maybe Wong or Revere. Some Ian Anderson for cover pointers. Eliot Jacobson and Barry Meadow for lore to add color and texture to your game and the Grosjean to finish the work. You will be a blackjack masterpiece if you take it seriously.
