It was fascinating to read how such an important change of law came about, which has subsequently affected the lives of tens of thousands of people. I wonder if the people involved in the case ever realised at the time how many billions of £'s were riding on the outcome of the case!? I was enthralled from beginning to end.

I found the Hustlers book very entertaining. My father was a great gambler in London and many of the names in the book were familiar to me. Casinos are open in my own country, Bulgaria and I wonder if the same sort of cheating goes on there.
I really enjoyed reading the book.

This an excellent read. An entertaining and evocative account of a colourful and fascinating period in recent history. I would not be at all surprised if its main allegations hit the headlines in the national papers.
