Mah Jong and How to Play It

by Chiang Lee

This is a very rare copy of Mah Jong and How to Play It.

It's one of the earliest books on Mah Jong play. The publishers also produced mah jong games and offered classes with this author. In fact, in the photos you can see a flyer that ended the book with the class announcement.

The pages of the book and in very good vintage condition. The binding is not in great condition. I've photographed the spine and what looks to be perhaps a repair. All the pages are attached but there is pulling from the stitching. I've tried to take photos showing this, but please let me know if you want more details.
