Protection --- The Sealed Book Paperback – March 1, 1999

Originally published in 1909, this gambling monograph by Joseph E. Meyer details the various shady practices used by the "sharpers" of that era. With sections on the early slot machines, sleight-of-hand card tricks and crooked gambling devices, rigged roulette wheels, counterfeit money and loaded dice, the book was an early effort (and an excellent one) to reveal to the public the ingenious tricks, schemes and apparatus used by gamblers and get-rich-quick fakirs. It is still considered the classic book of gambling scams of all times.
