Until now, a comprehensive book on Chinese mahjong for English-speaking readers did not exist. Finally, The Book of Mahjong meets that long-sought need, as author Amy Lo, in consultation with many master players of different forms of mahjong, offers the most complete mahjong guide ever. It includes:

* Over 160 full-color instructive photographs

* Instruction on authentic Chinese mahjong, as well as the Cantonese, Shanghai, and 12-tile versions of the game

* An explanation of rituals and rules only the most experienced players know

* A mahjong guide for all skill levels, from beginners to pros
