Webmaster Proft's Notes:
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who loves 42 or wants to learn the game. Mr Roberson tells the reader how to play, offers sage advice on strategy, and discusses other aspects about the game that many folks don't know.
He tells you how it started in Texas, who plays, and other interesting anecdotes. The new 4th edition has content updates and comments about 42 in cyberspace.
Here's the Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) article on 42: Forty-Two.
