Hello editors.

As you probably are aware if you have an interest in Al Alvarez, he has become a well-known name in poker circles for writing what is considered a classic in poker literature. This reputation was considerably helped along by Jim McManus in the frequent citations he made to Alvarez in his book Positively Fifth Street. There are no doubt many readers who come to this page have no idea of Alvarez' poetic work or his other non-fiction.

I think it would be a good idea to reference as an external link a book review of the "The Biggest Game In Town." The review is by Nick Christenson, who is an excellent reviewer. Any feedback would be appreciated.
