Exhibit CAA:Beyond Counting

Hmm, I'm not sure what info was removed from Beyond Counting. I'll have to read it again. Give me a hint.
I think BC has no value as a collectible, since the book is not THAT rare, and unless a book's author is either famous or dead, there usually isn't much demand. I think the value of either BC or CAA is still the information, which is highly useful to the target audience.

Out of curiosity, how valuable would CAA be to the semi-clever member of the non-target audience? Say, a card counter with a small bankroll but one that enjoys esoteric knowledge and has an interest in dense, analytical text that would likely reveal a few "secret" techniques after a few reads and interpretations? Still not worth the $$, or maybe? I know I'm not part of the population that would be in a position to reap the maximum benefit from this text, but my curiosity often gets the best of me, sometimes even to the tune of $250. I know there are no salesmen here, so I figure it's safe to ask.
A quick note to add to this, now that I've had a chance to do a bit of reading: aside from Exhibit CAA being a pretty impressive and obviously valuable volume, I've noticed one other thing—it's hilarious! Sure, the mathematical discussions and charts are fantastic and will pay for the book many times over if you have the means to use them, but it's a damn entertaining read to boot. Bravo.
