Gene Hochman's six part series. Were they all different, or just updated?
Is the six part series completely covered in The Hochman Encyclopedia by Tom and Judy?
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

If I remember correctly, each original Hochman volume covered different material and the Dawsons' book covers all six volumes.

Hochman came out in four volumes for four different categories - souvenir, transformation, other non -standard and standard. Volumes 5 & 6 were supplements. When we rewrote everything, we added a lot of material and gathered it all into the one large book. We have published a supplement and revised price guide to the book and have some material for another.
