The Columbus Book of Euchre edition by Natty Bumppo James Deaton Gerry Blue Humor Entertainment eBooks

I am not really sure where to start with this "book." There is a lot of interesting information here, but it is just not put together in a very useful manner. There is some advice about naming trump, leading, and some explanation of why certain plays might be a good idea, but it felt a little short on real, useful guidelines for play.

The author is incredibly enamored with naming everything, and while it is very folksy, it makes it tough to follow.

There are pages on the "Columbus Coup" which is a play where you order up for the purpose of being euchred...just to make sure your opponent doesn't get a loner (when you are up 9-6 or 9-7). If the dealer does it, it's the "Bloomington Corollary," if you do it when your opponent has less than 6 points is apparently called the "Bubinski." If the dealers partner ever does it, this is a terrible mistake known as the "Gnawbone Gaffe," to which the dealer is supposed to reply: "The dealer's partner is not from Columbus."

It's kind of interesting, but absolutely none of this would ever happen in real life, so take it for what it's worth.

EDIT: The "Columbus Coup" is absolutely a legitimate strategy, my only quarrel was with some of the naming of somewhat obscure situations. In discussing euchre further, I've found that, yes, it can actually be helpful to have names to describe these situations, so who am I to argue here? I'm not the one writing a euchre book. I've changed my rating from 2 to 4, as with some more experience, I've come to appreciate this book a bit more.

Also, be aware that this is basically a computer print out stapled together with a construction paper cover. Not what I expected for the price I paid.
