Author Talk at Way Library-Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo
On Tuesday, September 30th at 7 pm, local author Terry Shaffer will discuss his book “Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo: the Chips, the Dice, the Places and Faces”.
Mr. Shaffer has been a resident of Toledo since 1966. A graduate of the University of Toledo and local business owner, he has spent the past seventeen years researching the gambling underworld of Toledo and collecting vintage gambling chips and other gaming memorabilia.
His recent (2012) book, “Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo: the Chips, the Dice, the Places and Faces” presents a detailed look into Toledo’s gambling history, going back as far as the turn of the century. Included are detailed descriptions of the clubs; from the dates of operation, the locations, the owners and operators to the police raids that attempted to shut them down. Mr. Shaffer will be discussing the book and also be exhibiting pieces from his Toledo gambling collection at the presentation.
The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
