Here is a bit from the introduction that tells about the level and audience this book was written for.
===========================================
Introduction
You've just come home from another night at the local casino. It was so frustrating, that guy at third base hitting his 12 against the dealer's 6. If only he knew how to play; he ruined the table when the shoe was good. He busted. The dealer turned over a face card and then drew to a 21. It cost a bit too; you had $50 out on that bet. The dealer would have busted, except for that lousy play. And then everything went bad. It was like the table had turned upside down, the cards were out of order, and what had started out as a good night ended up a disaster. If only other people knew how to play the game right, you would win more consistently.
If you have ever had the experience described in the previous paragraph, this book is perfect for you. You have had a lot of experience at the tables, have a good sense about the variations in rules that occur in the game, and are quick to make decisions about your hands and bets.
You've decided to take the next step. You are willing to cast in to doubt all you believe about how the game should be played and start over from scratch. You acknowledge that you have bad habits at the tables that are losing you money, though you are not quite sure what those habits are. You want someone to explain to you why the things you think you know about blackjack and gambling are not going to succeed over the long run. You are ready to devote yourself to learning something about blackjack: to study, to practice, and to work hard at the game. If this describes you, then you are the right person to read this book.
