A lucky charm you can read, The Good Luck Book is a delightfully uplifting collection of quotes, stories, anecdotes, parables, tips, customs, rumors, and facts about good luck and how to get it.

Plus, how to change your luck at the card table, charms and rituals used in love, and why people rub other, lucky people for good luck.
