Reviews
This book is by far the most comprehensive treatise on dice available today. It is a "must have" for serious dice collectors or those interested in the history of dice.
Kevin Cook (Current Guinness World Record holder for Worlds Largest Collection of Dice)
When I first got your book from Kevin Cook, I only scanned it to see if it
said anything about my 5, or 24 or 100. Kevin sent me a very strong letter
to give to the patent examiner. Kevins letter points out that your book has
an entire page of 6 sided dice illustrations, showing dice lay out patterns which are not the standard used today. I am sending the examiner a xerox of that page. I did not realise what a scholarly work your book was until I needed those non-standard illustrations. I was impressed when I realized how much you knew about dice, that I did not know. I have never looked back into their history, so what your book told, provided quite bit of new information for me. I hope you are enjoying brisk sales.
Louis Zocchi (inventor / producer of dice)
Das Buch erf�llt sicherlich alle W�nsche eines W�rfelsammlers.
Peter Beuys, Germany (dice-collecting rival)
The book arrived a couple of days ago, marvelous reading, easily the best book so far on the history of dice! I take of my hat to you.
Dan Glimme, Sweden
I am delighted to have your book "in my language" and appreciate immensely your kind remarks at the beginning. My only hesitation about it is that it is going to engender a whole new group of dice-collecting rivals.
Irving Finkel, (British Museum), London
Now I have had some more time to study your wonderful book, which I find most interesting!
Peter Michaelsen, Denmark: (Author of several articles about games and teetotums)
Your book arrived yesterday and I've almost finished it.I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed every page of "Face to face". I have not been so engrossed by a book in years. When I finish reading it, I'm already planning on reading it again.
Alexander Simkin (Web manager of the Dice Maniacs Club The Random Fandom)
Las Vegas, USA: "A fascinating book"
Peter Ruchmann (Gambler's Book Shop), Las Vegas, USA
"I don't know how many people are interested in dice, but there is a BRILLIANT new book on dice that has just been published by gopher publishers. The book is called "Face to face with Dice: 5000 years of dice and dicing" and it is by Leo van der Heijdt."
Harold Cataquet, UK (Magician specialized in dice tricks and collector of puzzles)
