More About the Author

Mark Rogers has a keen perspective on alternative sports and games. He is the author of "Cornhole: Throwing Bags in a Hole" and "52 Greatest Moments World Series of Poker". Rogers is a member of the American Cornhole Organization (ACO) and American Cornhole Association (ACA). He has met with and played against top Cornhole professionals and leaders. Like many others, Rogers grew an appreciation for the game during tailgating and became addicted during family outings. Upon browsing the world wide web, searching for some Cornhole gear, Rogers was surprised to find a cult following for the game. And so, his aim in writing the book was to promote and document Cornhole in an effort to spread the fun to others.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 52 Greatest Moments World Series of Poker (Hardcover)
While the price seems high for a 154 page book it is so nicely done that
I must recomend it. The lay out is pure coffee table style, something that
you can pick up at leisure and skim thru. The features 52 poker hands played at the World Series of Poker, historical information, biographies,and great photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for poker fans!, January 4, 2007
By 
Monkeyman316 (Mom's Basement, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 52 Greatest Moments World Series of Poker (Hardcover)
If I was going to be trapped on a desert Island and I could only bring three items with me, I would bring a fully supplied fishing boat, a desalinization plant, and a harem of playboy playmates.

I would not bring this book. It just wouldn't be practical. I suppose I could use the pages as kindling for a fire, but that would just be a waste of money. I'd imagine there are plenty of plants and brush I could use instead, so why waste the space bringing the book. Plus, the boat will be fully stocked, so I'll bet there will be matches on board, or maybe even a starter log.

But that scenario aside, it's a great book for poker aficionados and degenerate gamblers alike. For those who are new to the game it's a great way to learn about its rich history. For those who are illiterate, there are many spectacular pictures to look at while you hope and pray that no one discovers your dark shameful secret. Then again, if you are illiterate, you aren't reading this right now, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Take it from me (someone who hasn't known the author for 12 years) this book is great.
