Tins is a book which, popular though it might have

been at any time, will be made doubly so by the black-out. It con- tains the rules of a great variety of card games, for from one to seven or more players, the majority of them reasonably well known, but some apparently the inventions of the authors. It is an excellent book of its kind, and is likely to prove extremely popular.
