Item description from seller

8vo. vii + 242pp. Title with coloured illustration of a roulette wheel. Original half red cloth with illustration of roulette wheel superimposed on front cover; worn. Guide to Monte Carlo and the gambling scene, before the first World War. The authors apparently made their living from playing roulette during the season, from November to April. They write, ‘It was our business to sit … playing for thirteen hours a day at the tables. We find there all the world sitting or promenading, smoking, chatting or listening to the orchestra which play in the afternoons and evenings … Nothing is too strange to happen at Monte Carlo. Dangerous only for born gamblers and the unwary’ In London the authors founded a casino near Piccadilly called ‘The Rouge & Noir Club’ --.
