• Author's Day: The first poker books were written in the 19th century, but the first significant poker strategy book was Doyle Brunson's "How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker" in 1979. He bought his own printing press to publish the book and sold copies for $100 a piece. Later editions were renamed "Super/System", and a sequel "Super/System 2" was released in 2004.
