5.0 out of 5 stars Best of those I've read, November 30, 1999

Robert Fischetti (Freeburg, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gin Rummy: How to Play and Win (Paperback)

More of a booklet than a book - only 59 pages - but it's the most cogent of the lot. I can't speak about the Killebrew book, which has had many positive reviews - but I've read the rest, and this is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise, April 26, 2007

Brendan Winter (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Gin Rummy: How to Play and Win (Paperback)

This is a clear and concise (59 pages) overview of Gin Rummy with excellent advice on general play and strategy. Compared to Fraed's book on Gin Rummy, this was an absolute pleasure to read and although it is short, it packs in far more useful information than many larger books do. I'm no Gin master (yet), but i am a professional writer and I can tell you that this book is worth buying.
