The tricky thing for me is knowing FOR CERTAIN the release year of these books. Forgive me if any were officially made available in 2013.
1) Pygmalion Effects: Reality as an Art by Aaron Alexander 2) The Marketing Minded Mentalist by David Thiel (Thanks to robvh for the inspiration to add to this thread!) 3) Its a tie between "A Piece of My Mind LE" by Michael Murray AND "Divine" by Colin McLeod It's been a phenomenal year of releases! There were a handful of other works that were extremely inspiring as well but with only three spots to rank hard decisions had to be made! Best, Drew

2) A Piece of my Mind (Limited Edition) by Michael Murray (lots of great ideas, even if you don't use the effects in the book). |

Heya Gang!
This is going so well! Thanks for keeping everything so positive! Here's our first update! And, please, no "tie' votes (just your top 3). ________________________________________________________ Current leader of The Tarbell VOTES / BOOK NAME / AUTHOR 25 A Piece of My Mind by Michael Murray 17 Train Tracking by Atlas Brookings 7 Divine by Colin McLeod 4 The Devil's Staircase by Greg Chapman 4 Modern Mentalism by Luke Jermay 4 When in Rome by Peter turner 3 Bairn by Ken Dyne 2 The Professional Mentalist's Field Manual by Richard Osterlind 2 Bigger Fish 2 by Peter Turner 2 Olivia by Myke Phillips 2 Pygmalion Effects by Aaron Alexander 2 The Marketing Minded Mentalist by David Thiel 1 Vote Each Confident Deceptions (author?) The Art of the Con by Paul Wilson Art Decko by Simon Aronson The Magiculum by Dr Todd Landman What Women Want by John Lovick Master Card Memory by Bob Cassidy ________________________________________________________ Lastly, over at the Trick of the Year thread, we've managed to research past winners since around 2003 (it's been a bit easier since I took over 4 years ago and it's been more 'official'). I'm wondering if anyone would like to help me research previous Book of the Year winners? I am beyond proud to have been the recipient last year for my own book, "The Approach" but I think it would be amazing to retroactively award the previous years' winners, from 2000-2012. Please PM if you would love to help! Thanks!

Hands down, this was a bumper year. I've thought about it for a long time and I think there were two real stand-outs:
1. Bairn by Kennedy 2. A Piece Of My Mind by Michael Murray The rest of the field is so evenly matched that I couldn't possibly pick a third. Best, Atlas |

A piece of my mind LE When in Rome LE Having been "Train Tracked" by the man himself, I would have loved to have voted for that, however I haven't bought the book as yet so can't really vote for a book I've not read!! |
