On the previous page, youll see for the first time ever Neils initial cover for The Game designed before the book was even near completion. I often wonder if the book would have had a different reception if this had been the cover.

The small and often uninformed decisions that an author and a publisher make determine the future of a book. A different approach to the cover, the title, the design, the sequence, the page count, or the content can create a completely different reading experience. Often, Neil will spend a week trying to perfect a story or a chapter, only to discover that either it doesnt actually help drive the story forward or it just doesnt work. If it doesnt, then it must be removed, even if it means that a week of writing has just gone down the drain. In the following pages, Ive included a few of those cut scenes and chapters from Neils last two books: Rules Of The Game and The Game. Enjoy these bonus tracks, and keep them to yourself. To quote Neil: Theres a reason they werent in the books

The following chapter was removed from Rules Of The Game. While writing the book, Neil was more interested in exploring relationships than seductions. This particular field report seems to confirm simultaneously most mens fears about relationships and their fantasies about being single.
