A History of Playing Cards and a Bibliography of Cards and Gaming - G/VG

This book is a must-have for any card game enthusiast or collector of vintage playing cards. Written by Catherine P. Hargrave, it provides a comprehensive history of playing cards and a bibliography of cards and gaming. The book is a facsimile of the 1930 edition, I believe, published by Dover Publications, Incorporated in the United States. The book covers various topics such as the history of card games, antiques and collectibles, clip art, and paper ephemera. It is written in English and includes illustrations by an illustrator. The binding is a trade paperback, and the book is classified under the categories of Books & Magazines and Antiquarian & Collectible. Book is clean and unmarked (looks like minor shelf wear and like new) but there is a stain on the edge of the paper visible at an angle, with the inside of book unaffected. Photos show how the different angles of the book affect visibility of the stain
