Invaluable for the American card collector,
By seaan (Bay Area California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hochman Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards (Paperback)
If you are interested in knowing the history of American playing cards, this through book is the best reference I know of. It has an amazing number of illustrations, most black & white but with a thick section of color in the middle of the book.
The authors are members of the club "52+Joker", and have done a real nice job with this book. Note that there are no playing-card rules in this book.
