Eddie Robin made 32 numbered pairs of a special edition of his one pocket books, "Winning One Pocket" and "Shots, Moves and Strategies". The covers are a gold-toned "lizard skin" and the co-authors each signed the copies.

This pair is #17. I will only sell it as a pair. I am asking $3500.

The first picture below shows the difference between the standard (maroon) binding on the left and the special goldish binding.

I do not know if the story is true, however Eddie himself
told a collector from Portland, Or who bought 3 boxes of
his books in my presence at Eddie's apartment in
Las Vegas in 2005 that a storage unit fire destroyed a
box of the lizard skin books which were all the even number sets.

If this is true, the lizard skins are much more rare than most know.

Eddie mentioned such a fire to me and said that maybe 20 sets were left.

I don't think I've ever seen a set sold, so the price is hard to set. The regular editions seem to go for around $600 for both -- maybe $250 and $350. You might find better deals than that on Ebay but not often.
