I know that I write frequently about Roll the Bones, my forthcoming book with Gotham, and I’m always referencing Cutting the Wire: Gambling Prohibition and the Internet. Reno: University of Nevada Press, 2005.
I signed the contract with “the Press” a while ago, but I held off on an “official” announcement until now because we hadn’t agreed on a title.
The book is being edited right now and will be available in the Fall. I’m really excited to have something published by the U of N Press, because they do fine work, and working with everyone there has been great.
I will be relentlessly publicizing the book here and anywhere else I get the chance, so stay tuned.
In other news, I’m in Atlantic City now and will be on the East Coast through next week. So entries will be few and far between.
There is a story about weight restrictions being placed on Borgata Babes, the cocktail servers at that Atlantic City casino, that I’d like to comment on in detail, but for now let me just say that I think that encouraging employees to manage their health is an excellent idea, and that executives should lead by example. No one should ask of others what they are not willing to do, right?
I’ll discourse more freely on this when I get to a faster internet connection and can assemble all the evidence.
Until then, in case UNLV decides to implement a similar policy, I’m carefully monitoring my cheesesteak intake and taking advantage of the running opportunities on the World Famous Boardwalk (yes, it is capitalized).
