If I may call on your collective wisdom.
The title of my first bj book is "The Blackjack Zone." Its purpose is not to present high level advice to the advantage community; rather, it is meant for the guy who sucks and is tired of sucking and wants to know why. I spend most of the the book discussing basic strategy, casino comportment, and mythology. I do a quick and dirty job on the High-Low system, then discuss the attitude of the advantage player, and give a few tips and hints for going forward to more advanced advantage play. I finish with a number of essays (and an interview) that give a lot of depth to the experience, without the details. I rail against 6/5, and casino abuse of advantage players.
One other thing I do is to give a lot of softer material -- material that could be considered "what BJ can teach me about life." That is the subject of this month's podium, so you get a sense for what I mean.
So, I am open to ideas for a subtitle. The ones I had were both nixed by my publisher:
"Winning at blackjack and life..."
"Lessons in winning at blackjack and life..."
And, if you want to "slag" me a bit, or give really absurd subtitles, that's fine. Anything that works to help the creative juices to flow...
Thanks in advance,
