The Blurb
Dice Mysteries is a study into the world of dice, aimed at the mystery performer.

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Hardcover Book, 500+ pages
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It’s accurate, though it doesn’t give a complete breakdown of the table of contents.
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Steve Drury has done it again and created a huge, impressive 500+ page tome covering one topic – this time, dice (and items similar to dice, such as the classic Mental Logs or Color Vision). Like the other highly recommended volumes in this series, this one brings together classic routines and ideas with dice alongside newer ideas from more contemporary performers. Definitely worth a spot on your bookshelf.
