Description

Until now, a comprehensive book on Chinese mahjong for English-speaking readers did not exist. Finally, The Book of Mahjong meets that long-sought need, as author Amy Lo, in consultation with many master players of different forms of mahjong, offers the most complete mahjong guide ever. It includes:

* Over 160 full-color instructive photographs

* Instruction on authentic Chinese mahjong, as well as the Cantonese, Shanghai, and 12-tile versions of the game

* An explanation of rituals and rules only the most experienced players know

* A mahjong guide for all skill levels, from beginners to pros

Author description

Amy Lo, born in the Canton, China, divides her time between Hong Kong, Tokyo, and the United States. Mahjong, which she has been playing for more than 30 years, is one of her favorite pastimes.
