Replacement
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I purchased this book years ago only to have it disappear later (we've all had that experience!). This purchase was a replacement, which should give it a high rating from the beginning. In any case, this is one of the finest publications on the subject ever and in my opinion deserving of further editions or updates. If you and your family enjoy games, but are getting tired of the usual, then this book is for you.
FABULOUS!!!

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTLY MARVELOUS BOOK IN CONCEPT, WRITING, DIVERSITY, PHOTOS & ILLUSTRATIONS. IT'S ONE OF THOSE UNKNOWN GEMS OF A BOOK. IT CAN BE READ BY ADULTS AND YOUNG ADULTS. WITH HIGH RECOMMENDATIONS.
