I doubt you'd really get $400 for the Parlett book -- as I said, I think the bookseller was just speculating, knowing it was rare and hoping that someone would be desperate enough to bite. However, I suspect you could get $75-100 for it, easily. I'll be adding his Guide to Card Games to my wish list... much more affordable. Heh, you’ve got some lucky students out there now.

He also has a "Dictionary of Card Games." The first is a history, the second an awesome set of card game rules with just a bit of theory.

Normally the college textbook story is "bought it for $60 sold it for $5." Talk about a reversal! I even have a spare copy, I think. As soon as I establish the truth of that, I will be selling one.

As you're on that side of the pond, I'm guessing you can get one for cheaper -- probably something I should have mentioned.
