Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive bibliography on playing cards and the history of games played with them. The book covers materials published between 1743 and 1892, including works which mention the use of cards wherever such mention is of sufficient antiquity or length to throw light on the history of the subject. The author has endeavored, in the main, to give first editions only. The list, while much more complete than any heretofore published, is still necessarily far from exhaustive. Nevertheless, it will prove useful as a check-list to other collectors and that it may serve as a nucleus for more extended lists of the literature of the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
