5.0 out of 5 stars The New Testament for card players., October 9, 2002
This review is from: The Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games (Mass Market Paperback)
If According to Hoyle by Moorehead was card-game bible when I was a child, this book was certainly a new testament.

I really didn't fit in well with other kids, so I had nothing much to do. So, I studies solitaires. But I had 150 ways to play solitaire, and all that book did was confuse me.

When I found this book at KayBee many years ago, I was most impressed. It's the clearest book on cardgames that I have ever read. They're even thoughtful enough to create two games, Joker Klondike and Joker Canfield.

This book will clarify almost any game, and I still pull it down from the shelf. In fact, I think I'll pull it out right after I've finished posting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for the solitaire player, June 15, 1998
This review is from: The Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games (Mass Market Paperback)
I find this book to be very helpful in learning different solitaire games. Some games don't include layout diagrams but the instructions are well done. I highly recommend it for a beginner solitaire player.
