The Book of the Die
The Book of the Die
Luke Rhinehart
The ‘bible’ for dice living – for everyone who has been inspired by the cult classic THE DICE MAN.From the author of the cult bestsellers THE DICE MAN and SEARCH FOR THE DICE MAN comes a new book, guaranteed to appeal to the hundreds of thousands of people who continue to be fascinated by the thought of ‘living by the dice’.Luke Rhinehart, after a long period of silence, has delivered a playful book of parables, essays, thoughts, ideas and practical instructions and reminsces on dice-ing that is designed to be dipped into for thoughts and views on dice living. It is a ‘handbook’, a reference ‘bible’, for the hundreds of thousands of people who turn to the dice to shake up convention and taking risks and chances. It will be a ‘must’ for Rhinehart’s thousands of devoted followers.
The
Book
of the
Die
Luke Rhinehart
I dedicate this book to my wife Ann, who ordered me to write it – and then, miraculum mirandum, liked it.
And thanks too to Francis and Chris, who had nothing to do with this particular book, but who are owed thanks in general for years of support; and to Dan Mandel, who always does well no matter the paucity of potential reward; and to Susan Opie and Andrew Ashton at HarperCollins, who went way out of their way to design a book whose look mirrors its contents.
And lastly to my friends and fellow seekers who rashly let me use their words in The Book of the Die. They must now suffer guilt by association.
