To Objective3000 and DMacks,

I appreciate your feedback on my recent attempts to edit the "Blackjack" page. I have read WP:COI, and now understand that trying to post a reference to my own book is a conflict of interest. However, I also understand that authors can initiate and cite their own sources. I respectfully request that you add the following title back under Blackjack Literature:


 * 1536 Free Waters and Other Blackjack Endeavors--Finding Profit and Humor in Card-Counting, Glen Wiggy, 2012, ISBN 978-1-4759-4564-5

While your claim, "There exists scores of more notable books" is true, mine is certainly notable ...it is the only blackjack book that focuses on humor. Additionally, the book has been well-received in the blackjack community. I offer the following reviews/articles for justification:
