Rezensionen
A Short History of Playing Cards von Gurney Benham
This is a small book about the very basics of the history of playing cards. Mostly it has information about English playing cards including details about the names given to particular cards and why. It has 13 coloured pictures, one of which I have seen copied on to several websites. This book is of some small use for those who are starting to learn the history of playing cards.
