.......at least until your review got buried in 400 five-star reviews happy about the price and 600 one-star reviews complaining about the price.  |
I actually misstated the title of the book. it was "Learn How to Play Poker Like a Pro (Beginner's Basics)". (I honestly don't remember seeing "Beginner's Basics" in the title. That may well have been a later addition.) I just reviewed it now. I gave it 2 stars. I think the whole "Like a Pro" thing was overselling it, and the editing was awful, but I gave it more than one star just based on the fact that it
is a competent rule guide.
Here's my actual
review.
Anyway, that's how I think price figures into a review. It's got to be based on the value of the content, and to know the value of the content, you have to read the book.
