This is an extraordinary pictorial review of tons of board games. It is obvious to me that Desi must have spent many years of heavy research before putting this book together! All the full-color illustrations are wonderful. I find this book very helpful when trying to track down a specific game. The book includes the game titles, company, dates and even a rough value of the board game! An outstanding, informative book that is very well written. I can't wait to purchase his next book!

I love board games and over the years have amassed a meagre, yet wonderful collection of them from second hand stores, thrifts and the like (in addition to what I had from my own childhood of course). Thus I was very excited to find this book, it is a great resource for a game collector. It is quite light on text (and the only reason I can't give it a 5 star rating), but the strength of such a publication lies in the pictures, which are marvellous.

I doubt I will ever own many of the items here, but it doesn't matter, if you are interested in the universe of board games you will love it, if for no other reason than to enjoy looking at the vast array of games that exist.
