Summary: Irreverent -- But Good
Review: Certainly this book is irreverent. However, it is good, they know it, so they flaunt it. There are very few euchre books in print. Of those, this is the only one that I recommend to other euchre players (about 20-25 of us meet monthly Sep-May). I sure wish more good books would come out.

Summary: Worth it! Tells of 'tricks' that had taken me ages to learn
Review: It is good to read about Euchre as it is actually played, and the humour used adds a lot to the book. It was fun to see comments about how different states or countries (incl. Canada) play the game.The history of the game, and the derivation of the terms, also add value, as do the reviews of other books included at the back of this one. If you buy it and use it you will find your game improving, even if you don't 'cheat'. The only 'nit', and it is a minor one, is that as a desktop publishing item the pages are irregular, making it somewhat more difficult to 'flip' to the desired page.

Summary: OK, but
Review: Too much Columbus. Not enough Euchre.

Summary: OK, but
Review: What is so good about this book is that it describes the way euchre really is played, not the way you find it in most playing card encyclopedias. And it describes the way the game is played all over the world, with notes on regional differences. An earlier reviewer seems to have misunderstood the author's "Southern Indiana" focus. That "Indiana thing" is mythology, not colloquialism -- and very funny mythology it is!
