Cassadaga by Virgil Allen Wulff PAPERBACK BOOK
Cassadaga is Virgil Wulff's first published work and remains one of the classics in the metaphysical mystery genre. As the mystery unfolds, the reader is exposed to the complex world of mediums and psychics, initiated by a visit to Cassadaga and ultimately returning to the scene of the ominous prophesy.
"Everything was fine for Harry and Leana Warren until their stop in the small, spiritualist town of Cassadaga, Florida. Shortly after an alarming (and alarmingly accurate) psychic reading there, Leana disappears and Harry's life rapidly becomes one of mystery and suspense. Virgil Allen Wulff of Tampa spins a tale of true love, action and intrigue in his novel with the same name as the psychic center, Cassadaga." (St. Petersburg Times Review)

Death-Pact Reunion by Virgil Allen Wulff PAPERBACK BOOK
Another great mystery by Wulff, in which he demonstrates the phenomenon of post-death endurance "as we evolve into the Age of Consciousness, a time when energies of mind readily function with or without the physical body."
The story is about one mind who sequentially resides inside three human forms. He was born Allen Weston, then became Albert Williams, and finally, Mark Slater--all having incredible metaphysical gifts. It covers such strange phenomena as: Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), Out-Of-Body Experiences (OBEs), Bodily (and Demon) Possessions, Heaven Imageries, After-Death Livelihood, and Lucid-Dream Visualizations.

Every aspect of Hold 'Em is covered here, from the basics to the more esoteric issues such as: Betting Theory; The Odds; Table Image; Spread Limit Games; Kill Games; Tournaments; and Playing for a Living.

Deadlihood by Virgil Allen Wulff EBOOK
This is Wulff's third book and possibly his best yet. Suggest you pay the $10 and judge for yourself.
In Deadlihood, Wulff includes descriptions of some brain-altering techniques to such a level of detail that he may convince you that they're more than figments of his imagination. His writing style uses a Ludlum-like approach that initiates multiple story lines which eventually merge, includes a "family history" that provides an intriguing trace of several generations of the main character's lineage, and wraps it all into a spell-binding adventure into the metaphysical and paranormal. His meticulous attention to detail will have you believing that he's been there and done that as he leads you from the slums of Chicago to the sun-drenched Cayman Islands. An important aspect of the story is how it predicts and technically describes the attainment of human immortality.

Merchants of Immortality by Stephen S. Hall PAPERBACK BOOK
Excerpt of Review from Publishers Weekly : "Drawing on scores of original interviews and contemporary source material, Hall, a contributing writer and editor at the New York Times Magazine (Invisible Frontiers: The Race to Synthesize a Human Gene), gives a timely and engrossing account of the high-stakes science of life extension. Among Hall's conclusions: distrust of science is the subtext of the debate over embryonic stem cells and research cloning, and regenerative medicine is inevitably yoked to health-care limitations in access, affordability, timeliness and, Hall writes, "simply, good medicine." He says the notion of "victory over mortality" is a canard, but we may be able to slow the aging process. This is top-drawer journalism."

The Quest for Immortality
According to a recent issue of Time Magazine, a large number of Baby Boomers appear to be pre-occupied with the concept of immortality -- or at least with the extending of human life. Below are two books treating the subject : the first by Stephen S. Hall is a documentary of the actual, while the second by Virgil Allen Wulff is a prediction of the possible. We suggest you read both to get a perspective on what is and what might be.
Seven-Card Stud for Advanced Players by David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth, Ray Zee PAPERBACK BOOK
In 1989, the first edition of this text appeared. Many ideas, which were only known to a small, select group of players, were now made available to anyone who was striving to become an expert, and a major gap in the poker literature was closed. It is now a new century, and the authors have again moved the state of the art forward by adding over 100 pages of new material, including an extensive section on "loose games." Anyone who studies this text, is well disciplined, and gets the proper experience should become a significant winner. David Sklansky is generally considered the number one authority on gambling in the world today. Besides his ten books on the subject, David also has produced two videos and numerous writings for various gaming publications. His occasional poker seminars always receive an enthusiastic reception, including those given at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City and the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.

The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky PAPERBACK BOOK
The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky discusses theories and concepts applicable to nearly every variation of the game, including five-card draw (high), seven-card stud, hold 'em, lowball draw, and razz (seven-card lowball stud). This book introduces you to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker, its implications, and how it should affect your play. Other chapters discuss the value of deception, bluffing, raising, the slow-play, the value of position, psychology, heads-up play, game theory, implied odds, the free card, and semibluffing. Many of today's top poker players will tell you that this is the book that really made a difference in their play. That is, these are the ideas that separate the experts from the typical players. Those who read and study this book will literally leave behind those who don't, and most serious players wear the covers off their copies. According to the Amazon summary, this is the best book ever written on poker.

Mysteries
Mysteries have always been my favorite type of book to really settle into. When I read a mystery, I get so involved that it's almost like watching a movie. Below are some great mystery novels.
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown HARDBACK BOOK
With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history.
A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect.
Reduced prices available at Amazon, including $10.47 ebook.
False Signals by Holly Hoffman EBOOK
In False Signals, Holly Hoffman weaves a web of intrigue that keeps the reader on the edge of their ebook keyboard. As the nature of the conspiracy at the International Banking Corporation becomes clearer, it also become painfully obvious that the road to foiling the diabolical plot is littered with murder and mayhem.
Holly's characters emerge and change with startling rapidity as the mystery unfolds, until we ultimately see Susan Montgomery blossoming as the unlikely heroine. As she evolves from a flirtatious floozy to a force to be reckoned with, she leads the team of amateur sleuths as they slowly, but surely, break down the wall of Government treachery protecting the entire false signal scheme.
Retire and Travel for $1000 a Month by Robert Hoffman EBOOK or HARD-COPY BOOK
Although this book describes a 5-month trip taken several years ago, most of the major costs (except gasoline) are still substantially the same as they were when the book was originally published. It starts with: My name is Robert ... I am a travel-a-holic. I've always been fascinated by the idea of traveling. When I was younger, I was intrigued by the thought of traveling to exotic places (South Pacific, Tahiti, Paris, Athens), but I could never quite work that out. When I was 16, I left home (Florida) with $1.50 and two bologna sandwiches with the thought of seeing California. Luckily, a flat tire about 30 miles from home turned me around. Five years later, I retired from my job as a postman, paid three month's car payments, and traveled around the country. Six months later, I returned home after clocking about 10,000 miles and 27 states (including California) and thought I had really seen it all and had the travel bug out of my system.
That was in 1962 - this book describes a 5000-mile trip in our new RV in 1984, with many RV buying tips, on-the-road tips, and amusing anecdotes about our adventures travelling from Florida to California.

Immortality Seekers by Virgil Allen Wulff EBOOK
Wulff's fourth book is the sequel to Deadlihood and also sells for $10. Buy both for a package price of $17.
If you've already read Deadlihood, you're probably like many of the readers, thinking "What if ...?" What if someone commercialized this process? What if it fell into the wrong hands? What if one could find a method for circumventing the obvious legal and ethical issues, then how many millions of dollars could be realized? What if there was a super-powerful society, above the law, independent of any government control, with the financial resources necessary to implement this costly, diabolical process?
Enter Brandenburg Group, a society of super-wealthy, super-powerful members who were willing to do whatever was required to achieve immortality. Watch closely as the scheme is hatched, evolved, and ultimately threatened with exposure in the Immortality Seekers.

Casino Camping : Guide to RV-Friendly Casinos by Jane Kenny PAPERBACK BOOK
If you're looking for a place to camp while you spend time in a casino, this is the book for you. It lists casinos with pay campgrounds, as well as those that allow you to boondock free. It includes casinos in 25 states, which I assume are all those that currently allow gambling. Each write-up includes contact info, a description of the casino and the RV park, available discounts, and directions. The author groups casinos by type, separating land-based from riverboat, etc., making it very simple to find what you're looking for.
Although this makes a great reference book, it's also an interesting read to get information on boondocking, casino discounts, comps and other casino tips. It also gives the novice a great picture of what to expect when they first attempt to combine their camping with their casino recreation. REVIEW IN NEWSLETTER #2005.04.
