5.0 out of 5 stars The One Book to Own About the Vicious Circle, January 11, 2006
By 
This is the best book out there about the roots, growth and history of the Round Table. Jim Gaines has done a remarkable job of presenting the colorful group. Packed with photos and illustrations, a must-have book for devotees of the Vicious Circle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wits at the Algonquin Round Table, May 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wit's End: Days and Nights of the Algonquin Round Table (Paperback)
Oh to have participated with these witty, literary and most times intoxicated giants of this era would have been a delight but certainly not for the thin skinned. You would have had to have kept your wits about you or you would have been sliced and diced by some of the most remarkable and acerbic tongues of this fine table. Here are some truly remarkable characters vividly brought to life by James Gaines. A joyous and intelligent read.
