- Notes:
- "This book was inspired by the idea of cheating. There are pages on how to cheat at various games such as monopoly, cards, rolling dice as well as bigger cons such as winning a raffle through to the lottery jackpot. The book itself however, is as fake as the cheats it describes, obviously written by a fraudster. This book comes with a slipcase belonging to a different book (sporting themes), in order to hide Confidence on the bookshelf. The slipcases all have unique titles."--Publisher's catalogue (2004).
Accompanied by lottery ticket in sealed brown envelope.
Edition limited to 25 numbered copies.
