Update: I just finished reading the book and I would like to give my opinion on it. This book is easy to read and follow, not to mention well organized. The book has hundreds of pictures that clarify what Caro is explaining to you. It also has a quiz at the end to see how much you learned from it.
After a while, many tells become ery similar. It relys on this "science of tells": "Weak is strong and strong is weak."
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who was trouble figuring out whether a player is bluffing or not. You wouldn't believe how many tells there are that could tell you a player's hand or playing style. You could prbably finish the book in about 2 hours or less. It's that simple to read and understand.

They are a factor of the game, but not so important as most people tend to believe. In you are a live player, itīs good to learn most tells and to donīt do them, but if you are going to make a decision just based in if your opponent touched his nose as he went all in, then youīre wrong. Tells are a factor of the game but a ery little one, in my opinion. The "real" tells are betting patterns.
Itīs a great book to read and ery useful, but you have to be careful in how do you apply the information.
Excellent! Where did you buy this from? I can't find it anywhere..

Agree, its proballly one of the best book on tells but dont start looking for them every time you sit down. Youll find yourself thinking someone has a tell because of the way they are acting and fold a winning hand or call and lose big. Tells are part of poker for sure, but you will usually only get a definite read off of a new player.

Caro's book is the definitive book on poker tells. The pictures may seem a bit dated but the information still applies today.

I picked up Caro's book myself a few weeks ago, and yeah, it's nice. I haven't played any live games since I bought it so can't give you any stories of big bluffs I pulled off using the information in it, but I can see how it would be mighty useful.
