Notes: "This special collection reprints many important government documents and academic source materials relevant to gambling issues. One goal was the preservation of historical documents in danger of being lost -- particularly in their historical context. Each reference is preceded by historical commentary and a "suggested citation" ... The historical commentary was provided primarily by the Research Editors Doctoral Directorate (REDD) on Gambling, a lyceum initially based at the University of Illinois, but also including other universities' academics with doctoral degree rank."--P. xiii.

Some appendices pages lack continuous paging.
