DESCRIPTION:
Basics with references to American and Japanese variations A Customer I just learned the American version of the game and was looking for some history and basics as well as pointers on strategy. This book has some good strategy sections as well as sections on the American and Japanese games as well as Chinese and other Asian variations. Addresses and descriptions of American and Japanese national organizations are given.The illustrations are small and in black and white so if you are looking for more pictures, this is not the book for you. On the other hand, the illustrations of hands were useful - you just have to look at the page more closely.. I have a beautiful set, that cannot be used Teach Yourself Mahjong is still difficult concept for me. I play this game on the computer, but I cannot play it "in Person" on the table. I have a beautiful set, that cannot be used. I think I shall sell the set, and the book on Amazon A lot of money wasted. Sorry to be so negative.. Gabriella said Five Stars. Everything was excellent. Thank you, ggulley10
