Monte Carlo: Facts And Fallacies is a book written by Hiram Stevens Maxim in 1904. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the famous Monte Carlo casino and its operations. Maxim, a well-known inventor and writer, spent several months in Monte Carlo studying the casino and its games. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of the casino, the games offered, the mathematics behind the games, and the psychology of gambling. Maxim also debunks many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding Monte Carlo, including the idea that the casino is rigged or that its success is based on luck rather than skill. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to both casual readers and serious scholars. Overall, Monte Carlo: Facts And Fallacies is an informative and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history and culture of gambling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
