Customer Reviews: Best Pai Gow book ever January 28, 2007dr_frightmarestein (Los Angeles, CA) This book claims to be the most comprehensive book about the game of Pai Gow in the English language. It was probably true in 1981 when the book was released, and it's still true to this day, as far as I can tell. Musante's strategy that he presents in this book is pretty much the strategy adopted by casinos the world over for their "house way", so you know the guy knows what he's talking about. I agree with the guy that wrote the other review in that it might help to know a little bit about the game before getting into this book, but it's totally worth it. [...]. Very good, in-depth book about Pai Gow TILES / Dominoes June 14, 20043 out of 3 found this review helpful Mr. Musante's book was written in the early 1980's, and at the time, this book was the only in-depth description of Pai Gow tiles available to people who did not read Chinese. Since then, there have been a couple more books/brochures written, and there is a lot of information on the internet. At any rate, this is a very good book, although I was already a very experienced player when I read it. I did notice that some of the material is not presented in a fashion that would be easy to understand for a beginner. This would be a great book to read if you already have a slight understanding of the game. It goes into great detail in regards to the "exceptions" that are played contradictory to the traditional strategy. There is also a very nice history of Pai Gow, including great descriptions of the symbolic meaning of the different tiles. The cover price on this book is $8.95.. so I'm not sure why it seems to be selling for prices in the $20's. I would recommend this title. | |||
