Description
|
|
|
|
The hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds of a standard playing card deck are familiar to nearly everyone; in fact, the use of playing cards has a rich history that dates back to the late 1300s. Showcasing more than 400 different designs, Collectible Playing Cards depicts cards from all over the world, from the familiar format used for playing poker and bridge to specialized but no less traditional cards used by fortune tellers, as well as unique forms like round packs from India. This chunky little book is part of a series that surveys particular objects of collectors' interest through hundreds of outstanding examples, each with a color photograph on a plain white background and a brief description.
