The decorative dust jacket adds much to this vintage first edition, first printing hardcover. The jacket is foxed and shows wear and small chips along the edges from use. A mylar protector has been placed over the DJ. A lovely First, with clean pages and tight binding. LISTEDBY(KAD)
Oswald (Ozzie, Jake) Jacoby was an American contract bridge player and author, considered one of the greatest bridge players of all time. He also excelled at, and wrote about, other games including backgammon, gin rummy, and poker.
THE book on classic Canasta. This one has the most complete rules and penalties. It also has the most in-depth strategy. THE tome on the classic 1 card draw game.
Excellent book. Excellent strategy advice for beginners, intermediate players, and experts alike, plus a very useful Q&A section and a complete run down on all scoring rules and penalties plus a section on the Laws of Canasta. A must have. Too bad it's out of print. Get yourself and old copy from Amazon if you play this game!
