If you want to gamble at poker you don't need to read a book.

Relevant to this thread how?

If you're looking for 'old' poker books and in used poker books check eBay and any other 2nd hand books sites relevant to your country. If you're looking for old poker books as in old by age, i would question why you would want to do this? Most newer books are much more relevant to how today's games have evolved and now are played and would be far more beneficial to you then the older books tho something old or new is better then nothing.

Arguably, the exact opposite is true.

There is more bacteria in your body than there are people on the entire planet.

Well said, & he's probably in search of old books based off the "older is wiser" saying. Newer books would be most relevant but old hardbacks would surely have some useful information to absorb. Good luck.
