Mah-Jongg in 1920s Popular Culture: Illustrated Sets and Rules of Play by Jeffrey J. Gordon is an expanded guide to Mah-Jongg Sets and How the Game was Played in the 1920s. It retains the geography, history, Jewish contribution, exceptional importance of Mah-Jongg in 1920s popular culture, as well as explaining Mah-Jongg set components and game play. It also retains detailed coverage of the many varieties of 1920s Mah-Jongg sets showing their boxes, tiles, dice, wind discs, counters, instruction booklets, and racks. Two very helpful and significant additions were made: First, many full color illustrations of the most striking boxes were added. These photos display all decorated sides yielding complete box portrayals. Second, English translations of the Chinese writing on boxes and tiles were provided. These very interesting translations feature uplifting words, phrases, and expanded game names, which add to our overall appreciation and enjoyment of early Mah-Jongg. This welcome book fills a gap and is sure to be appreciated by Mah-Jongg plyers and collectors.
