grid's review against another edition
3.0
Funny, what I read of it, maybe half. I didn't feel like I needed to keep reading to get the idea. The writing style is quite archaic, and I really struggled with it.

Despite being 70 years old, it could have been written this morning. Hilarious.
seano's review against another edition

This is a very tongue in cheek book about gamesmanship. Or how to win without actually cheating.
It was written in the late 40s and it's pretty absurd in a proto-Monty Python way.
It does however have some serious points to make about getting the upper hand without being obvious. Many of the examples are clever but there's always a germ of truth in them.
Despite the content, I just couldn't give it more than three stars. Glad I read it though.
