[Johnson, J. H]. Beat the Cheat. (Cheating Cheaters.) Kansas City: B&B Specialties, 1935. Pictorial wraps. Illustrated. 12mo. Good. As much a catalog as an exposé of cheating methods, this slim treatise pictures most of the classic crooked gambling devices, and also uses (without attribution), at least one illustration from Erdnase’s classic work. Johnson is best known to gambling literature aficionados as the author of the Open Book (see next lot).
