Mah Jongg because it allows her to socialize with close friends
while playing with beautiful tiles.
"Mah Jongg: The Art of the Game … delves into … cast-stone tiles
and ambitious manufacturers' experiments with plastics and
composites like Pyralin and Ebonite." --New York Times
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Whether used as a reference or a
beautiful keepsake, it's a very worthy addition to the world of Mah
Jongg." --Ruth Unger, President, National Mah Jongg League
"This handsome book is the first to give a history of the tiles
used in the game of Mah Jongg. The concept of the game and the
symbols on the tiles are explained, and then the wide variety of
materials used in making the tiles is discussed and illustrated.
Presented in brilliant color and beautifully designed, Mah Jongg:
The Art of the Game would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf or
coffee table of any art lover. For Mah Jongg players, it's a must!"
--Elizabeth Stillinger, author of The Antiquers and A Kind of
Archeology: Collecting American Folk Art 1876-1976
