A chronological history of the main event of the World Series of Poker. A short synopsis of the action from most years. While it provide very little in terms of specifics, it does do a good job in giving you an overview of the tournament. It also talks about the history of the Horseshoe casino and the family that owned it, the Binion's.
History of every WSOP up to 2005, with many anecdotes and little-known details.

Another great read - difficult to put down!
Nothing new to any fan of the professional poker world, but the entertaining writing and the fact that it's all collected in one place makes it worth the read; if you *aren't* into the poker world, this is a good look at the people who populate it, written with insight and clear affection for all the wacky stories.
good historical overview of the World Series of Poker, from the early 70s to 2005.
