Bille,

I've heard from three different sources that AB is writing a book with Eddie Robin. That info may be wrong but think about if it's right. Two exacting perfectionists like AB & ER writing a book could take a while. ER is particularly wary of any book turning out like WOP (first edition) with it's errata sheets.

If they are writing a book, and I would bet on it, we will hear from them when the book is for sale I'm sure.

I don't know. This could turn out badly if ER is doing the saying and AB is doing the writing.

Dennis is right I believe. I heard Artie mention the book, I think, in a scott frost one pocket commentary on youtube. IF I remember correctly, Artie really wasn't interested in talking about it too much. To be perfectly honest, and this is not a knock in any way - quite the opposite, it makes "Artie sense" to me, if people want to hear what you have to say, why say it for free?

 

[gulfportdoc]

Well that's good news! Artie plays things pretty close to his vest, so I could see where he'd want to keep it under the radar, saving the hoopla for when it's published. Maybe I'll give him a call this weekend to check it out. Unless of course Fred wants to spill the beans...

I think it was Larry Schwartz who mentioned the book and AB clammed up like a whore in church.

P.S. I've written this at least 5 times and maybe more on this site, I don't know why anyone would act surprised to hear it now.

I was going to say if they pull this off, Artie should be cannonized.

I havent talked to Artie in a couple of months. No particular reason Probably call him soon. I couldnt possibly imagine Artie doing a book with Eddie Robin.

Incidentally, I have had Artie's handwritten notes on his 8 ball book, Quantum Eight Ball for at least 5 years. The title was my idea. Artie dont know Quantum from "Quit 'em."

They are 4 inches of 8 x 11 lined, yellow note pads. 2 or 3 billion words, at least half misspelled. I gave it a shot to wade thru it and put it into a workable form but I would have needed a months supply of crystal meth. Much of the material repeats itself due to his re edits.

If one uses a word processing program and you edit something you just change some words and create a new single document. Since Arthur cant use Microsoft Word he would just rewrite the whole thing over. Hence ten 8 x 11 lined pads of work.

Next time you feel like giving it a try, try using Dragon. I want to get it for Christmas. It looks awesome.

Bill,

If you'll reread my post above you'll see that I never said that Eddie Robin was "doing something" for Artie. I said they're doing it together and I also said I could be wrong. But I'd bet $20 on it.

Dennis,

I'll fade your $20 on the proposition that they publish a book together. I hope I lose.
