I'm also curious Mason has any thoughts on somebody with a less than stellar track record writes a book how does that factor in a publisher. This potentially could be a decent book but the author does have a significant credibility issue.
Hi Badger:
Poker World Magazine, am organizatio I was briefly involved with, in the mid 1990s also went bankrupt under her leadership. This is something that most here don’t know about.
As from a publisher’s prospective, it’s my experience that most publishers don’t care much about ethics. At least this seems common in the poker/gambling field. So if the book has some sales potential finding a publisher shouldn’t be difficult.
As far as I know, Duke headed up two companies, Poker World and Epic Poker League (which I think had a different company name) that both went bankrupt. If this information was on the back cover I wonder how well her new book would sell. Also, just to set the record straight, I have not read this book so can’t comment directly on it.
Best wishes,
Mason
